Abstract excerpt
The lacI transgene used in the Big Blue (BB) mouse and rat mutation assays typically displays spontaneous mutation frequencies in the 5x10(-5) range. Recently, the bone marrow and bladder of the Big Blue rat were reported to have, by an order of magnitude, the lowest spontaneous mutation frequencies ever observed for lacI in a transgenic animal, approaching the value for endogenous targets such as hprt (...
