Abstract excerpt
The mouse lymphoma (L5178Y tk+/- 3.7.2C) in vitro mutagenesis assay can measure the genotoxic effects of a wide variety of chemical agents by inactivation of a single functional thymidine kinase (tk-1) gene. We have previously demonstrated, using cytogenetic and molecular techniques, that the types of molecular lesions associated with tk-1 gene inactivation span a wide range similar to that seen in tumor cells at...
