Abstract excerpt
The biochemical and genetic characteristics of a clone of Chinese hamster ovary cells displaying resistance to N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) and 6-thioguanine (6-TG) were analyzed. The initial level of 7-methylguanine, 3-methyladenine, and O6-methylguanine formation and the repair rates for these alkylated bases were the same in the resistant and in the parental cell line, indicating that the resistance to...
