Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To study whether fragile histidine triad (Fhit) prevents IR-induced hypoxanthineguanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) mutation and whether Fhit plays any role in preventing HPRT mutation through low dose-induced adaptive response. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Establishing human cell lines with or without Fhit expression by making constructs expressing hemagglutinin (HA) alone or HA-Fhit fusion protein and...
