Chromosomal aberrations are believed to result from the incorrect joining of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). In an attempt to investigate induction and rejoining quality of DSBs following ionizing radiation exposure in specific genomic locations of mammalian DNA, an experimental approach based on S
## Abstract Using the technique of neutral elution through polycarbonate filters as a measure of DNA length, and hence of the number of doubleβstrand breaks incurred as a result of radiation damage, we found that normal human fibroblasts rejoin 50% of all breaks within only 3 min (37Β°C). This fast
The ATDC gene was originally identified by its ability to complement the radiosensitivity defect of an ataxia telangiectasia (AT) fibroblast cell line. Because hypersensitivity to ionizing radiation is an important feature of the AT phenotype, we reasoned that ATDC may function generally in the supp
## Abstract Transferrin is required for proliferation of most cells in culture. This effect is presumably mediated by the binding of transferrin to its receptor, a surface glycoprotein which is preferentially expressed by actively growing cells. Here we show that normal human fibroblasts cultured i
