Abstract excerpt
Sites and types of mutations in relation to the amount of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and (6-4)-photoproducts in UV-irradiated normal Ha-ras sequences were investigated. Mouse BALB/C 3T3 cells were transfected with UV-irradiated pYN-mHras plasmids containing mouse normal Ha-ras sequences, and transformed foci developed. Direct DNA sequencing of the Ha-ras retrieved from the foci revealed that most...
