Abstract excerpt
Mouse 3T3 fibroblasts lacking c-fos were employed to demonstrate an essential function of the UV-inducible transcription factor AP-1 (Fos/Jun) in the response to the cytotoxic effects of short-wavelength ultraviolet (UVC) radiation. Clonogenic survival and proliferation of cells lacking c-fos wer...
