Abstract excerpt
The glycophorin A (GPA) assay for in vivo somatic cell mutations was performed on blood samples from 39 survivors of the atomic bomb at Hiroshima. Parallel analyses were performed at two laboratories using three different GPA assay methods to enumerate cells lacking expression of either the M- or...
