Abstract excerpt
The AS52/XPRT mutation assay was examined for sensitivity in the detection of chromosomal mutagens. 6 compounds identified as chromosomal mutagens in the mouse lymphoma assay (MLA) were tested for mutagenicity in AS52 cells using suspension treatment and soft agar cloning. The 6 compounds were benzo[a]pyrene (BAP), 2-acetylaminofluorene (2AAF), methylmethanesulfonate (MMS), methyl acrylate (MCR), benzoin (BZ),...
