Abstract excerpt
We have examined the occurrence of lethal and 6-thioguanine resistant (hprt locus) mutants among the progeny of irradiated CHO and BALB/3T3 cells. The expression of lethal mutations, as measured by a reduced cloning efficiency in the progeny cell population, was detected up to 30 mean population doublings after x-radiation. Preliminary evidence indicates that the expression of mutations at the hprt locus may also...
