Abstract excerpt
The genotoxic effects of the methylating agent streptozotocin (STZ) on Chinese hamster cells CHO-9 and V79 were evaluated. The induction of cell killing, chromosomal aberrations, sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and mutations was analyzed. Comparisons were made with the the STZ aglyconic analogue N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU). V79 cells were found to be more resistant than CHO-9 cells to STZ and MNU killing...
