Abstract excerpt
The mouse-lymphoma mutagenesis assay detects forward mutations at the heterozygous thymidine kinase (tk-1) locus in L5178Y tk+/- 3.7.2C cells. This assay of genotoxicity is widely used to quantitate the mutagenic potential of a variety of chemical and physical agents. A NcoI heteromorphism between the tka- and tkb+ alleles allows the use of Southern blotting to broadly detect two major categories of mutations....
