Abstract excerpt
The clastogenic effects of MMC and BLM and the mutagenic effects of B[a]P, N-ac-AAF and ENU were studied in mouse embryonic fibroblasts derived from wild-type (WT) and Rad54/Rad54B-deficient mice. Clastogens as well as mutagens showed a statistically significant induction of mutations in the lacZ reporter gene both in a WT and Rad54/Rad54B-deficient genetic background. Rad54/Rad54B MEFs appeared equally sensitive...
