Excision repair in mammalian cells and the current status of xeroderma pigmentosum. [uv radiation]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7316485
Studies were conducted on the following research projects: nucleotide excision repair of DNA damage in human cells following uv radiation; studies on dimer specific endonuclease and dimer excising exonuclease activities in cell-free preparations; studies on base excision repair enzymes in human cells using uracil DNA glycosidase and apurinic endonucleases, defects in nucleotide excision repair in uv-irradiated XP cells; and other defects in XP cells. The significance of the results of these studies is discussed. (HLW)
