Abstract excerpt
The human shuttle plasmid pZ189, containing the Escherichia coli supF gene as the mutational target, was irradiated in vitro with 210Po alpha particles and transfected into human lymphoblastoid cells. Plasmids which were replicated in human cells were recovered and those containing mutant supF genes were isolated by phenotypic screening in E. coli. The mutations were characterized by sequencing the tRNA gene. The...
