Abstract excerpt
Validation of the Pig-a gene mutation assay has been based mainly on studies in male rodents. To determine if the mutagen-induced responses of the X-linked Pig-a gene differ in females compared to males, groups of five male and female Sprague Dawley rats were exposed to the mutagens 1,3-propane sultone (80mg/kg/day), ethyl carbamate (600mg/kg/day), or thiotepa (7.5mg/kg/day) for three consecutive days (study days...
