Abstract excerpt
We have examined whether cells with replication error-positive (RER+) and -negative phenotype (RER ) respond differently to the mutagen MNNG, employing three RER+ and two RER- human cell lines. Cells were treated with several concentrations of MNNG, and HPRT mutants were selected phenotypically by their growth in the presence of 6-thioguanine. While the variation of the mutation frequency within each group was...
