Abstract excerpt
The effect of human O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) on the cytotoxicity, the mutagenicity, and the specific kinds of base substitutions induced by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) were examined in non-MGMT transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHOM cells) and in those cells which had been transfected with human MGMT complementary DNA (AGT cells). AGT cells containing a high level of...
