Abstract excerpt
The molecular basis of radiosensitivity was studied using a cDNA complementation approach to correct radiosensitivity in cells. Four cDNAs of sizes 1.6, 2.0, 2.2 and 2.5 kb were isolated that corrected several aspects of the phenotype of cells from patients with the human genetic disorder ataxia-telangiectasia, characterized by hypersensitivity to ionizing radiation. The criteria used to assess correction...
