Abstract excerpt
Assays for in vivo mutation are used to identify genotoxic hazards and phenotypes prone to genomic instability and cancer. The hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (Hprt) gene and the phosphatidyl inositol glycan, class A (Pig-a) gene are endogenous X-linked genes that can be used as reporters of mutation in peripheral blood lymphocytes from most mammals. Here we describe methodology for measuring Hprt...
