Abstract excerpt
The processing of a unique 8-oxoguanine residue in DNA has been studied in mammalian cells using a single-stranded shuttle vector. A fragment of human Ha-ras carrying the lesion on the first (G1) or the second guanine (G2) of codon 12 was inserted in a shuttle plasmid. Extrachromosomal DNA is replicated in animal cells, extracted and used to transform bacteria to be amplified and individualized. DNA sequencing of...
