Abstract excerpt
We studied the repair of psoralen adducts in the pol I-transcribed ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes of excision repair competent Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines, their UV sensitive mutant derivatives, and their UV resistant transformants, which express a human excision repair gene. In the parental cell line CHO-AA8, both monoadducts and interstrand crosslinks are removed efficiently from the rRNA genes, whereas...
