Abstract excerpt
4 repair-deficient (Mer-) and 2 repair-proficient (Mer+) lines of SV40-transformed human fibroblasts were assayed for colony-forming ability after treatment with MNNG, methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), 1,3-bis-(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU), and 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-nitrosourea (HECNU). The sensitivities to MMS, BCNU and HECNU of these SV40-transformed lines were similar to those of...
