Abstract excerpt

Two gamma-ray-sensitive and two ultraviolet (UV)-sensitive variants were isolated from the gamma-ray- and UV-resistant TN-368 lepidopteran insect cell line. The isolation was performed by inducing mutations in the TN-368 cells using ethyl methanesulfonate, growing them for an expression period, i...
