Abstract excerpt
Revertant cell lines were established from cisplatin (CP) resistant HeLa cells. Expression of CP damaged plasmid DNA carrying bacterial chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene after transfection into cells was measured. Revertant cells showed reduced host cell reactivation of damaged plasmid, as compared to resistant cells. Addition of aphidicolin, an inhibitor for DNA polymerase alpha, to resistant cells...
