Abstract excerpt
As part of the Stage 3 of the Pig-a international trial, we evaluated 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) for induction of Pig-a gene mutation using a 28-day repeat dose study design in Sprague-Dawley rats. In the same study, chromosomal damage in peripheral blood and primary DNA damage in liver were also investigated by the micronucleus (MN) assay and the Comet assay, respectively. In agreement with previously...
