Abstract excerpt
The involvement of O6-methylguanine (O6-meGua) in mutagenesis is well established, while the toxic effect of these residues is still controversial. In this study, we compare the cytotoxicity of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) and N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) on three cell lines of different origin, which have different abilities to repair O6-meGua residues (Mer phenotype): a human hepatoma cell line...
