Abstract excerpt
Mutant rodent cell lines hypersensitive to DNA-damaging agents have provided a useful tool for the characterization of DNA repair pathways and have contributed to a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in the cellular responses to mutagenic treatment. Here we present a detailed description of how to isolate mutagen-sensitive mutants from hamster "wild-type" cell lines. First, cells are treated with...
