Abstract excerpt
The strong bacterial mutagen 3-chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone (MX) was tested for the induction of mutation at the Na/K ATPase locus to ouabain resistance (OuaR), sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs), and chromosome aberrations (CAs) in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells without metabolic activation. MX increased the frequency of OuaR mutants in CHO cells when the cells were treated with it in PBS...
