Abstract excerpt
The genotoxic effects induced by the monofunctional nitrosourea derivative streptozotocin (STZ) were investigated in Chinese hamster ovary cells, parental (CHO-9) and its mutant hypersensitive to alkylating agents, designated EM-C11. The ability of this compound to induce chromosomal aberrations, cell killing, sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and mutations was evaluated on these two cell lines. The mutant cells...
