Abstract excerpt
C-Myc overexpression mediates lymphomagenesis; however, secondary genetic lesions are required for its full oncogenic potential. The origin and the mechanism of formation of these mutations are unclear. Using the lacI mutation detection system, we show that secondary mutations occur early in B-cell development and are repaired by Msh2. The mutations at the lacI gene were predominantly at C:G base pairs and CpG...
