Abstract excerpt
The T-cell cloning assay which combines mitogen- and growth factor-dependent expansion of lymphocyte clones with thioguanine selection of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (hprt)-negative cells has been extensively used for studying human somatic gene mutation in vivo. However, large interindividual variations in the hprt mutant frequency (MF), much of which is not explained by donor attributes such...
