Abstract excerpt
Topoisomerase I has ubiquitous roles in important cellular functions such as replication, transcription, and recombination. In order to further characterize this enzyme in vivo, we have used gene targeting to inactivate the mouse Top-1 gene. A selection protocol using the topoisomerase I inhibitor camptothecin facilitated isolation of embryonic stem cell clones containing an inactivated allele; isolation of...
