Abstract excerpt
The effect of cytosine arabinoside (ara-C) on the frequency of X-ray- or UV-induced chromosome aberrations was studied in cultured skin fibroblasts derived from 2 normal persons, 4 ataxia telangiectasia (AT) patients and 2 obligate AT heterozygotes. Density-inhibited cells were irradiated with X-rays or UV, post-treated with ara-C, and chromosomes in the first post-irradiation mitoses were examined. UV, a poor...
