Abstract excerpt
The relationship between mutagenesis and carcinogenesis was investigated in T x HT crossbred mice using diaplacental application of ethylnitrosourea (ENU) at different stages of embryonal development. Mutagenesis was detected by induction of coat color spots, and the carcinogenic response was investigated in a long-term follow-up study of the F1-generation. The animals were particularly sensitive to induction of...
