Abstract excerpt
We have studied reversion in DNA repair deficient EM9 cells, by selection for ethylmethanesulfonate (EMS) resistance. EM9 is a mutant CHO cell line that is hypersensitive to killing by EMS and X-rays and deficient in DNA single-strand break (SSB) repair. EM9 cells were transfected with DNA from a cosmid library, and transfectants resistant to EMS were isolated. Four revertant lines were obtained, which varied in...
