Abstract excerpt
Previous experiments in our research group showed that 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT) caused increased mutant frequencies (Mfs) at the X-linked hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) and the autosomal thymidine kinase (TK) genes in human lymphoblastoid cells and that there was a significant positive correlation between AZT incorporation into cellular DNA and AZT-induced TK Mfs. In the current...
