Abstract excerpt
The ability of 1-methoxy-1,3,5-cycloheptatriene (MCHT) to induce gene mutations and chromosome breaks has been examined in a battery of standard assays. MCHT was not mutagenic to 5 strains of Salmonella, with or without S9 fraction. In L5178Y TK+/- mouse lymphoma cells, MCHT induced TK-/- mutants in the presence but not in the absence of S9 fraction. In V79 Chinese hamster cells, MCHT induced azaguanine-resistant...
