Abstract excerpt
Deficiencies in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) result in predisposition to neoplasia in both rodents and humans. Pms2 is one of the several proteins involved in the eukaryotic MMR system. In order to determine the effect of Pms2-deficiency on mutation, we measured mutant frequencies in the endogenous Hprt gene of lymphocytes from male Pms2(-/-), Pms2(+/-), and Pms2(+/+) mice. Spleens were removed from mice of various...
