Abstract excerpt
We have shown previously that the repair of O6-methylguanine can be induced in murine fibroblasts (C3H 10T1/2 cells) by exposure to X rays. The magnitude of the response is less, however, than is observed in the well-characterized adaptive response of various prokaryotes to methylating agents. To determine whether the induction of O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase in C3H 10T1/2 cells is sufficient for...
