Abstract excerpt
The term "pseudomutagens" is suggested for factors that increase the spontaneous mutation level not by induction of DNA molecule changes but as a result of inhibition of the repair of spontaneous pre-mutation lesions. The expected regularities of pseudomutagen effects, which are suitable as criteria for their identification, are considered. The experimental results on the effects of six modifiers of cell...
