| Abstract: | We established lymphoblastoid cell lines from 2 children with Chediak--Higashi syndrome (CHS), 2 xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) patients and control donors after transformation of peripheral lymphocytes by Epstein--Barr virus (EBV). We used these lymphoblastoid cell lines to investigate repair activity after ultraviolet irradiation. Cell survival of both CHS lymphoblastoid cell lines after irradiation by UV and treatment by 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4NQO) fell between those of the XP and control cell lines. Unscheduled DNA synthesis of CHS cells after UV irradiation occurred at rates similar to those of control cells. |
