Abstract excerpt
The XPA gene was initially cloned based on the ability of its cDNA to improve survival of cells from xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group A (XP-A) patients following irradiation of the cells with UV. We used plasmid host cell reactivation assays to compare UV mutagenesis and the proficiency of DNA repair in a cell line from an XP-A patient, XP2OS(SV40), two derivative cell lines stably expressing XPA cDNAs...
