Abstract excerpt
A search for serum factors that modulate the mutability of human cells has been attempted in the peripheral blood of lung cancer patients. Factors were separated by dye-ligand chromatography and first identified as those exhibiting the ability to enhance the frequency of drug-resistance mutations in human RSa cells. The frequency was assessed by estimation of the cloning efficiency of mutant cells resistant to...
