Abstract excerpt
We have previously reported the isolation of mammalian cell lines expressing the 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylase I (tag) gene from E. coli. These cells are 2-5 fold more resistant to the toxic effects of methylating agents than normal cells (15). Kinetic measurements of 3-methyladenine removal from the genome in situ show a moderate (3-fold) increase in Tag expressing cells relative to normal as compared to a...
