Table 1.

Relative repair activities for uracil-DNA and THF-DNA in Pol β null and Pol β-comp cells.

Cell type	Relative repair activity^a for uracil-DNA (%)	Relative repair activity^a for THF-DNA (%)
Pol β null	85 ± 3.1 (P = 0.003)^b	82 ± 4.7 (P = 0.011)^b
Pol β-comp	101 ± 5.0 (P = 0.82)^b	129 ± 5.8 (P = 0.005)^b

The relative repair activity was calculated by dividing the ratio (positive control vs. experimental) of luciferase activity for uracil-DNA or THF-DNA in Pol β null cells or Pol β-comp cells by the ratio in wild type cells. Values represent the mean ± SEM of 7 independent experiments, with three replicate cultures in each, at the 10 h time point after the beginning of the repair incubation.

P-value in student t-test was calculated by the comparison with wild type cells.
