Abstract excerpt
The recently developed Pig-a mutation assay is based on flow cytometric enumeration of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor-deficient red blood cells caused by a forward mutation in the Pig-a gene. Because the assay can be conducted in nontransgenic animals and the mutations accumulate with repeat dosing, we believe that the Pig-a assay could be integrated into repeat-dose toxicology studies and provides an...
