Defective mismatch repair in extracts of colorectal and endometrial cancer cell lines exhibiting microsatellite instability.
1 May 1994
Abstract excerpt
A replication error (RER+) phenotype, characterized by somatic instability in simple repeated sequences, is associated with several types of cancer. To determine if a defect in DNA replication fidelity or repair of replication errors might explain this instability, we compared both processes in cell-free extracts from RER+ endometrial and colorectal cancer cell lines to RER- cell lines. SV40 origin-dependent...
