Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To characterize further the contribution of the DNA-PK-dependent dsb repair pathway in mammalian cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The efficiency and fidelity of the joining of linear plasmids by DNA-PKcs-defective mouse cells (SCID) and Ku80-defective Chinese hamster ovary cells (xrs-6) was measured using either linear or circular replicating shuttle vector pZ189. RESULTS: The authors found a 3.9-10.7-fold...
