Abstract excerpt
Three major pathways, nucleotide excision repair (NER), base excision repair (BER) and O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), are responsible for the removal of most adducts to DNA and thus for the survival of cells influenced by deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) adduct-forming chemicals. We have evaluated host cell reactivation and cell survival of wild type Chinese hamster ovary cells and of mutants in the...
