Aphidicolin, an inhibitor of the α-polymerase in mammalian cells, at a concentration of 0.5 μg/ml, is shown to enable cells which are growing exponentially and synchronized in the S-phase of the cell cycle, to repair potentially lethal damage caused by exposure to either x-rays or UV light. The drug holds cells up in the S-phase which may serve to allow time for repair and could prevent fixation of damage which may occur when the cells progress through the cell cycle. The possible involvement of α- and β-polymerase in repair of potentially lethal damage is discussed.
