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 hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (hprt) locus was determined following exposure to ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS),...
