Abstract excerpt
Ultraviolet (UV)-induced repair and mutational spectra were analyzed in an inducible marker gene, the metallothionein-l/guamine-xanthine phosphoribosyl transferase (gpt) fusion gene, carried by an Epstein-Barr virus-derived shuttle vector episomically maintained in human cells. The repair rate of UV photodimers from the shuttle-vector molecules was typical of transcriptionally active sequences, 70% of the dimers...
