title: Exposure of CHO cells to AluI: comparison of chromosomal aberrations and cell survival.
abstract: Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were exposed to various doses of the restriction endonuclease AluI in the presence of 2.2 M glycerol. Some of the cells were cultured for analysis of chromosomal aberrations and some for analysis of colony-forming ability. Cell killing is mainly mediated by chromosomal aberrations.
