Abstract excerpt
Comparison of spontaneous mutation spectra derived from different transgenic constructs can provide valuable insights for interpreting the mechanisms of spontaneous mutation. In this study, spontaneous mutation frequencies and spectra of the lacI transgene are compared in the liver of C57BL/6, B6C3F1, and BC-1 mice and F344 rats. Before correction for clonal expansion, the mutant frequency varied from 2.6 +/-...
