Abstract excerpt
The rodent Pig-a gene mutation assay has demonstrated remarkable sensitivity in identifying in vivo mutagens, while much less is known about the value of the human PIG-A assay for risk assessment. To obtain more evidence of its potential as a predictive biomarker for carcinogen exposure, we investigated PIG-A mutant frequencies (MFs), along with performing the Comet assay and micronucleus (MN) test, in 267...
