CtipS326A/− ES cells are moderately sensitive to CPT- and ETO-induced genotoxic stress. Ctip+/− and CtipS326A/− ES cells were examined for (A) camptothecin (CPT) and (B) etoposide (ETO) sensitivity in clonogenic survival assays, together with ES cells homozygous for the hypomorphic Brca1Δ223–763 mutation (Brca1Δ223–763/Δ223–763). Cells were exposed for 24 h to varying doses of CPT and ETO, allowed to recover for 7–9 d, and surviving colonies were stained with Crystal violet. Survival is calculated as a percentage of colonies in the mock-treated plates. Each subclone was tested in triplicate, and the error bars represent the SEM of survival for each subclone.
