Abstract excerpt

An early and immediate response of cells upon irradiation with UV light and various other forms of genotoxic stress is the induction of the proto-oncogenes c-fos and c-jun. To address the questions of whether (a) methylating agents that are powerful carcinogens are effective in induction of fos and jun mRNAs, (b) induction is affected by the repair capacity of the cells, and (c) induction is accompanied by...
