Human cell line GM03798 (wild type), Epstein–Barr
virus-transformed lymphoblasts were obtained from Coriell Cell Repositories and
were grown in
RPMI 1640 (Gibco) supplemented with 10% FBS and
penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco). Cell lines were regularly tested for mycoplasma
contamination. Cells were treated with the different concentrations of the
following drugs:
olaparib (AZD2281; Astra Zeneca);
Aphidicolin (A0781, Sigma).
WTC-PM was obtained, as previously described, from 5 locations within 0.5 miles
of Ground Zero on 9/13/01
6 ,17 (link). Composition was determined by
x-ray fluorescence analysis using techniques as previously published
17 (link). Cells were exposed to
200μg/ml of WTC-PM for all the experiments.
