Abstract excerpt
We have examined the contributions of O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyl-transferase (AGT) and nucleotide excision repair to the protection of human cells from the toxic and mutagenic effects of ethylnitrosourea. Three human lymphoblastoid cell lines were used: one which possesses both of these DNA repair...
