ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides for numerous cell factors involved in a novel cellular pathway that is activated in response to ionizing radiation. Several cell factor activities are described which either complement the radioresistant DNA synthesis phenotype of Ataxia Telangiectasia cells, or inhibit DNA synthesis in the cell. Other cell factor activities are described which inhibit mitosis by arresting the cell cycle prior to cell division. It is contemplated that compositions comprising the subject factors will be useful as both research tools, and as therapeutic agents.
