Abstract excerpt
In order to examine the relationship between activation of an antipain-sensitive protease and suppression of mutability in UV (UVC)-irradiated human cells, a human cell variant with the high protease activity induced by UV was established and characterized for its susceptibility to UV-induced mut...
