Abstract excerpt
The use of genetic toxicology tests for hazard identification is complicated by the fact that some in vitro tests using cultured mammalian cells are subject to potential artifacts that can make it difficult to distinguish between direct, chemically-induced genotoxicity, and DNA damage that occurs...
