Abstract excerpt
The 6-thioguanine resistance (TGr) assay in human T-lymphocytes, which detects mutations at the hprt locus, identifies exposures to environmental mutagens. However, the ability of this assay to detect small increases in mutation rates is limited by the broad range of mutant frequencies (Mf) in healthy individuals. While subject age, lymphocyte cloning efficiency, and cigarette smoking history have been shown to...
