Abstract excerpt
The unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) assay has been used extensively for the in vitro detection of DNA damage caused by compound exposure. However, the in vitro UDS assay has been insensitive for the detection of certain chemicals, particularly nitroaromatic compounds, that are positive in bacterial mutation assays. Recently, studies have been reported which describe alterations in the hepatocyte membrane...
