Abstract excerpt
Transgenic animals offer a powerful tool to study the mechanisms of spontaneous and induced mutagenesis in vivo. Herein we used a test version of a growth selectable assay to obtain spontaneous mutants in a lacI target transgene recovered from lacI transgenic B6C3F1 mice (Big Blue). This selectio...
