Abstract excerpt
Spontaneous mutation rates at the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (hprt) locus were measured in human cancer cell lines defective in the mismatch repair (MMR) genes hMLH1, hPMS2, or GTBP, as well as in a cell line carrying mutations in both hMLH1 and hPMS2. The mutation rate was determined by quantitating mutant frequency increases within a single culture as a function of cell division. These...
