Induction of gene mutation in mammalian cells by 3-chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone (MX), a chlorine disinfection by-product in drinking water.

Mutation research - 1 Aug 1994

Jansson K, Hyttinen J M

Abstract excerpt

3-Chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone (MX), a potent direct-acting Salmonella mutagen found in chlorinated drinking water, was tested in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells for the induction of mutation at the hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase locus to 6-thioguanine resistance...
