In lymphocytes of a 7-year-old boy with Fanconi's anemia the frequencies and sites of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCE) were studied with the BrdU-Giemsa method. The average frequency of SCE (8.8 per metaphase) and the inter- and intrachromosomal distribution of SCE was not significantly different fr

A model of the sister chromatid exchange (SCE) process is outlined as a replication mechanism to bypass DNA crosslinks. The model suggests that when normal bidirectional replication advances from both sides towards a crosslink along the two opposite parental strands, the complementary parental stran
The incidence of structural chromosome aberrations and the rate of sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) was investigated in lymphocyte cultures from a patient with typical Fanconi's anemia and his parents. The rate of SCEs was found to be normal. In experiments with the alkylating agent Trenimon the SCE
Human leukocyte cultures were pulse-treated with the trifunctional alkylating mutagen trenimon in a final concentration of 10(-7) M for 15--20 h after culture start, i.e., in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. At 24 h after culture start bromodeoxyuridine (BUdR) was added to the trenimon-treated cultur
## Abstract The level of sister chromatid exchanges, both spontaneous and induced by UV light or ethylmethanesulphonate (EMS), in Chinese hamster V79/AP4 cell line, is partially reduced upon cocultivation with human cells. Normal and xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) cells are equally effective. On the ba
