Abstract excerpt
Mutant frequencies at the native Dlb-1 and the lacI transgene reach a plateau within 1 week of mutagenesis in the small intestine of mice. This indicates that these mutations are selectively neutral and should accumulate additively. In a test with three mutagens, one potent (ethylnitrosourea) and two weak (1,2-dimethylhydrazine and methyl methanesulphonate), ten weekly treatments induced ten times the frequency...
