Abstract excerpt
The factors that influence the spontaneous mutant frequencies in mammalian tissues have been ranked on the basis of data from our laboratory together with published data. Some of the data come from the endogenous hprt and Dlb-1 loci, but most come from transgenic mice carrying the bacterial lacI and lacZ genes in recoverable lambda phage vectors. Since there is evidence that these bacterial loci are selectively...
