DNA polymerase alpha activity was determined following serum stimulation of early and late passages of human diploid fibroblast-like (HDFL) cultures derived from apparently normal donors (two strains) and from a patient with Werner's syndrome (one strain). Induction of this enzyme was observed in bo

## Abstract We investigated the cloning efficiency, DNA repair, and the rate of DNA replication in the skin fibroblasts from patients with Werner's syndrome (WS) of an autosomal recessive premature aging disease. Five WS strains exhibited normal levels of sensitivity toward Xβray and UV killings an
Two cases of Werner's syndrome are reported. Fibroblasts derived from both patients revealed reduced population doubling numbers. Chromosomal analyses for fibroblasts from both patients and lymphocytes from one patient revealed that chromosomal aberrations occur frequently and randomly. Although som
Analysis of DNA fiber autoradiograms from Bloom's syndrome skin fibroblasts and blood lymphocytes shows a retarded rate of replication fork movement compared to normal adult controls. Other measurements from the autoradiograms--replication unit length, incidence of bidirectional replication, and deg
Co-culturing with origin-defective SV40 DNAinjected transformants, we succeeded in activating the limited growth potential of late-phase-II fibroblasts from patients with Werner's syndrome (WS cells). Residual life spans of three WS cell lines increased 2.3-5.6 fold. Co-culture with normal IMR-90 ce
