Abstract excerpt
The frequency of mutant cells observed in a series of experiments in which primary cells were isolated from untreated or solvent control animals are reported. The mutants detected are thioguanine-resistant lung fibroblasts isolated de novo from Chinese hamsters or Fischer 344 rats. The results in the two species were very similar. The distribution of mutant colonies in cells isolated from untreated animals is not...
