Abstract excerpt
Mutations of NBS1 are responsible for the human hereditary disease Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS), which is characterized by an extremely high cancer rate. In this study, we investigated the influence of NBS1 on ionizing radiation (IR) induced apoptosis. Using small interfering RNA (siRNA) transfection, we knocked down NBS1 protein in three closely related human lymphoblastoid cell lines differing in p53...
