Abstract excerpt
The pluripotent embryonic carcinoma cells of line P19 established from undifferentiated cells of the early mouse embryo and their differentiated progeny, the epithelioid ectoderm-like EPI-7 cells, were investigated for the induction of mutations at the HPRT locus by the alkylating agent N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU). We showed that the cytotoxic effects of ENU after a 5-h treatment were lower in undifferentiated...
