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 typ...
