We report here the application of the restriction site mutation (RSM) assay to study the induction of mutations by the alkylating agent ENU. Specifically, mutations were sought in the spleen and bone marrow of mice 3, 10, and 100 days after being treated with ENU; this was compared to data previousl

In order to evaluate the pUR288-plasmid transgenic mouse model, utilizing the bacterial lacZ gene as the mutational target, radiation-induced mutagenesis was primarily analyzed in spermatogonial stem cells. A combined hydroxyurea (HU)-X-ray treatment protocol was used, known to sensitize dramaticall
The mechanisms are poorly understood by which p53 can stimulate different downstream events, including growth arrest, DNA repair, and apoptosis, after DNA damage. Changes in protein levels do not predict a particular p53 response, but it is possible that differences in functional activities such as
Sleeping sites are a potentially important resource for grey mouse lemurs since they are confronted with high daily temperature fluctuations and a high predation pressure. In order to determine the existence and degree of resource competition, sleeping site characteristics, locations, and usage patt
To generate epidermal-specific knockout mice, vectors can be used to target expression of Cre recombinase to epidermal stem cells. Cre-mediated recombination is then used to delete gene sequences flanked by loxP sites ("floxed gene"). However, most keratin-based expression vectors (e.g., K14, which
