Abstract excerpt
Incubation in thymidine-containing medium resulted in increased lethality and micronucleus frequency in V79 cells treated with ethyl nitrosourea (ENU), methyl nitrosourea (MNU) and ethyl methane-sulphonate (EMS) but not with methyl methanesulfonate (MMS). Thymidine had no effect in ENU treated HeLa cells. In V79 cells, the presence of thymidine during post-treatment DNA replication was necessary for the effect....
