Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the Xpc gene cause a deficiency in global genome repair, a subpathway of nucleotide excision repair (NER), in mammalian cells. We used transgenic mice harboring the lambda-phage-based lacZ mutational reporter gene to study the effect of an Xpc null mutation (Xpc-/-) on damage induction, repair and mutagenesis in mouse skin epidermis after UVB irradiation. UVB induced equal amounts of cyclobutane...
