Abstract excerpt
Pregnant lacZ+ transgenic mice (Muta Mouse) were treated with ENU (25 mg/kg) by oral gavage on day 10.5 of pregnancy. This dose of ENU is the optimal dose observed by other investigators for activity in the mouse coat colour spot test. Day 10.5 of pregnancy represents the stage when the embryonic liver first becomes visually discernable. By day 15.5, when the maternal and embryonic livers were analysed for lacZ-...
