[Mammalian carcinogen-induced warts tumor in Drosophilidae: a test sensitive to the blastomogenic action of chemical compounds].

Abstract excerpt

A basically new system has been developed to screen carcinogens in Drosophilidae, which is based on somatic mutagenesis and recombination. The system may induce tumors in Drosophilidae, which are recorded in adult insects. The test uses recessive mutation in the suppressor gene of growth of warts (wts) tumors. The new system is sensitive to a wide spectrum of mutagenic carcinogens that are naturally encountered....
