Abstract excerpt
The experiments described were carried out as part of the UKEMS Third Collaborative Trial. The method used was essentially that described by Thilly et al., based on a cloning assay using microtitre test plates. The induction of mutations at both the thymidine kinase (tk) locus and the hypoxanthin...
