The autosomal thymidine kinase (Tk) gene is frequently used as a target for the detection of mutations in mammalian cell cultures. In these cultures, one allele of the Tk gene contains an inactivating mutation (Tk-) so that single mutations in the remaining Tk+ allele cause functional loss of the Tk

Recent reports show an increase in the rate of lymphoid malignancy among children. Previous studies also indicate that approximately 50% of all lymphoid malignancies contain rearrangements between antigen receptor genes and oncogenes, suggesting that V(D)J recombinase fidelity may be involved in the
Previous work showed that the DNA double-strand cleaving agents bleomycin and neocarzinostatin were more mutagenic in plateau-phase than in log-phase cells. To determine whether topoisomerase II poisons that produce double-strand breaks by trapping of cleavable complexes would likewise induce mutati
The impact of air pollution and life style on DNA adducts in placentas was studied in the two areas of the Czech Republic with various annual average air pollution levels of particulate matter <10 µm (PM10) and PAHs; i.e. in the highly polluted area of Northern Bohemia (Teplice District) and in the
NNK is a potent carcinogen, generated during tobacco processing and smoking that requires metabolic activation by various cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes in order to exert its carcinogenic effect. In the present study we investigate the role of polymorphic CYP2D6 variants in activating NNK to induc
