Abstract excerpt
Chemicals used industrially and commercially are required by law to be assessed for their genotoxic potential. However, all currently used assays have major limitations and despite intense effort, there is no universal agreement on which tests should be employed, or how to interpret results. We have developed a new assay system using the chicken DT40 B cell line that offers a number of significant advantages over...
