Focal Sites of DNA Repair Synthesis in Human Chromosomes
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is the principle pathway by which the human cells eliminate UV-induced lesions from their genomic DNA. The process can be visualized through the labelling of the nucleotides that are incoporated into repair patches, following the excision of the damaged stretch of DN...

Zusammenfassung: | Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is the principle pathway by which the human cells eliminate UV-induced lesions from their genomic DNA. The process can be visualized through the labelling of the nucleotides that are incoporated into repair patches, following the excision of the damaged stretch of DNA. In this study we have visualized sites of DNA repair synthesis (DRS) in human interphase and metaphase chromosomes after very short times (2.5–30 min) of postirradiation labellingin vivowith 5-iododeoxyuridine. A limited number ( |
