## Abstract Interstrand crossβlinks (ICLs) are among the most cytotoxic DNA lesions to cells because they prevent the two DNA strands from separating, thereby precluding replication and transcription. Even though chemotherapeutic crossβlinking agents are well established in clinical use, and numero

## Abstract DNA damage by agents crosslinking the strands presents a formidable challenge to the cell to repair for survival and to repair accurately for maintenance of genetic information. It appears that repair of DNA crosslinks occurs in a path involving double strand breaks (DSBs) in the DNA. M
Activation of Src, which has an intrinsic protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) activity, has been demonstrated in human solid tumors, such as colorectal and breast cancers. To investigate the role of activated Src in drug resistance, we evaluated the effect of v-src on the resistance to various anti-cancer
