  Use of E18 Cell Model to Quantify DNA Strand Break Associated Bystander Effect (DSB-ABE)
  Author(s): Jalal Nasir Jalal Nasir
  
  The lymphoblast cell line E18 is a derivative of TK6 and has an I-Sce1 insert in the intron 2 of heterozygous TK1/ tk1 gene. E18 can be targeted with I-Sce1 restriction endonuclease to induce double strand breaks at the I-Sce1 site to measure radiation independent DNA damage and the associated bystander effect. For construction of E18 cell line an Eco47III site was inserted into the pTK-UAS linearized plasmid backbone and annealed with blunt-ended oligonucleotides of ISce1 restriction sequence in the presence of DNA ligase. DH5-α cells were transformed by heat transfecting the cells with pTK-UAS-Eco47III-Sce1 and selecting ampicillin resistant colonies. Plasmid DNA was extracted and analyzed for the presence of Eco47III and I-Sce1 sites. A clone with I-Sce site in intron 2 of the thymidine kinase active allele was selected for further experimentation and named .. View More»
