The murine severe combined immunodeficiency (scid) mutation interferes with normal recombination of iramunoglobulin and T-cell receptor genes. This immunologic defect results in a lack of fully differentiated B and T cells inscid/scidmice. Animals homozygous for thescidmutation also display increased sensitivity to the damaging effects of ionizing radiation. We report here our observations of high frequencies of radiation-induced chromatid interchanges and intrachanges in bone marrow cells and fibroblasts fromscid/scidmice. The presence of these aberrant chromosome structures suggests that a delay in strand rejoining underlies the increased sensitivity ofscid/scidmice to ionizing radiation. Thescidmutation may provide important clues for understanding the relationship between mitotic recombination and DNA repair in higher eukaryotic cells.
