Abstract
Fibroblasts from 101/H mouse fetuses manifest a higher rate of spontaneous chromosome aberrations as compared to fibroblasts from CBA fetuses. The molecular weight of single-strand DNA fragments from 101/H mice was found to be lower than that in CBA mice. No differences were disclosed in the strength of the DNA-protein bond in the cell chromatin of both mouse strains. It is assumed that the alkaline-labile-sites in DNA may be the cause of chromosome aberrations. The possibility of using 101/H mice as a model of human chromosomal instability syndromes is discussed.If you're having problem loading pages
