Chinese hamster ovary cells were treated with combinations of differen
t restriction endonucleases (RE). The frequencies of chromosomal aberr
ations after combination treatments were additive or less than additiv
e when compared with the effects of the single RE. These data indicate
that DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) induced by different types of RE
in combination treatments lead to chromosomal aberrations in the same
way as DSB induced by single RE.
