title = "Assessing DNA Damage Responses Using B Lymphocyte Cultures",
abstract = "Development of B cells requires the programmed generation and repair of double-stranded DNA breaks in antigen receptor genes. Investigation of the cellular responses to these DNA breaks has established important insights into B cell development and, more broadly, has provided fundamental advances into the molecular mechanisms of DNA damage response pathways. Abelson transformed pre-B cell lines and primary pre-B cell cultures are malleable experimental systems with diverse applications for studying DNA damage responses. This chapter describes methods for generating these cellular systems, inducing and quantifying DSBs, and assessing DNA damage programs.",
