Title: uv excision-repair gene transfer in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6150923

uvc-sensitive mutants of CHO cells provide a model system for molecular studies of DNA repair. We present our recent results which show that these mutants are competent recipients for plasmid marker gene transfer and incorporation of a putative CHO repair gene. The applicability and advantages of this system for interspecies human repair gene identification are discussed.
