Abstract excerpt
Multiplex PCR amplification of hprt exons from 113 Chinese hamster ovary cell clones selected for resistance to 6-thioguanine was performed to investigate the molecular basis for the synergistic mutagenic effects of nutritional folic acid deficiency and alkylating agents. In cells treated with ethyl methanesulfonate, intragenic deletions were detected in 9 of 46 (19.6%) clones derived from folate-deficient cells,...
