Abstract excerpt
Rats can be used to detect both somatic gene mutations and chromosomal aberrations induced in vivo. The technique adapted from Chinese hamsters for the isolation and analysis of lung fibroblasts confirm the surprising results obtained in hamsters; namely, methyl methanesulphonate induces many micronuclei but no significant increase in gene mutations. In contrast ethylnitrosourea induces both micronuclei and gene...
