Abstract excerpt
The hypoxanthine-phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) mutation assay has been widely used to investigate gene mutations induced by radiation. Here, we developed a novel method detecting deletions of multiple exons of the HPRT gene based on real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR). Immortalized normal human fibroblasts (BJ1-hTERT) were irradiated at various doses with γ rays, subjected to the 6-thioguanine (6-TG) selection,...
