Abstract excerpt
The human O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase complementary DNA was transfected into the alkyltransferase-deficient Chinese hamster ovary cell line, D422, in an effort to dissect the underlying mechanisms of bischloroethylnitrosourea (BCNU)-induced mutations. The alkyltransferase-transformed cell line exhibited 100-fold protection against BCNU-induced toxicity and an overall decrease in mutation frequency to 25%...
