Abstract excerpt
N-methylnitrosourea (MNU) induces thymic lymphoma in a high proportion of susceptible C57BL/6xSJL (C57/SJL) mice. Expression of the human DNA repair gene, MGMT cDNA, which encodes O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase, in transgenic mice effectively prevents MNU-induced thymic lymphomas. In this study, we determined the phenotype of thymocytes expressing the transgene and defined whether the target cell...
