Abstract excerpt
Different challenge assays have been used to investigate cellular responses following exposure to DNA damaging agents. Our protocol uses X- or gamma-rays or ultraviolet light to challenge cells to repair the induced damage, and chromosome aberrations as a biomarker to indicate DNA repair proficiency. The assay was used successfully to demonstrate base- and nucleotide-excision repair deficiency in certain...
