Does increase in DNA repair allow "tolerance-to-insult" in chemical carcinogenesis? Skin tumor experiments with MGMT-overexpressing mice.

abstract：:Fluorescence in situ hybridization with 7, 17, X, and Y chromosome-specific DNA probe was used to investigate the ability of Adriamycin (AM) to induce aneuploidy in interphase human lymphocytes. The reliability of the probes was tested by hybridization to metaphases and interphase nuclei of untreated normal lymphocyte...
