Description

The UV-sensitive mutant V-B11, isolated from the V79 Chinese hamster cell line was further characterized. V-B11 has a slightly increased cross-sensitivity to 3me4NQO, whereas no increased sensitivity towards 4NQO was observed. A slighly increased sensitivity towards EMS and MMS was also found. The mutants shows a defect in the ability to perform the incision step of V-B11 was crossed to a panel of 6 UV-sensitive Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, which represents all the previously identified 6 complementation groups of UV-sensitive Chinese hamsters mutants. Since in all crosses complementation has been observed, V-B11 appears to be the first mutant of a new, 7th, complementation group. (author). 18 refs.; 3 figs.; 1 tab
