Abstract excerpt
Cells with the mutator phenotype are tolerant to methylating damage from N-methylnitrosourea and N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanine, exhibit replication repair errors, and have recently been found to be mutant in mismatch repair (MMR). However, resistance of cell lines with these defects to clinically used chemotherapeutic agents and the relationship of this resistance to expression of O6-alkylguanine-DNA...
