Abstract excerpt
Study of the mutagenic action of methyl nitrosourea (MNU) on the CHO-AT3-2 Chinese hamster cell at 2 regimes of cell treatment (a short-term regime and prolonged 1-h treatment) revealed that increase in the duration of treatment enhanced both cell lethality and clastogenic and mutagenic effects at the TK locus and did not influence the mutation frequency at the OUAr locus. On the basis of kinetic considerations...
