Abstract excerpt
Aneuploidy is an important contributor to reproductive failure and tumor development. It arises spontaneously or as a result of exposure to aneugenic agents through non-disjunction. Two spindle poisons, colchicine (COL) and vinblastine (VBL) are mutagenic in the mouse lymphoma assay (MLA), a gene mutation assay that targets the heterozygous thymidine kinase (tk) gene on chromosome 11 in mouse lymphoma L5178Y...
