Dependence of the Cytotoxicity of DNA-Damaging Agents on the Mismatch Repair Status of Human Cells
15 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
Mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency was reported to increase resistance of mammalian cells to killing by several genotoxic substances. However, although MMR-deficient cells are approximately 100-fold more resistant to killing by S(N)1 type methylating agents than MMR-proficient controls, the sensitivity differences reported for the other agents were typically <2-fold. To test whether these differences were linked to...
