Abstract excerpt
Specific-locus studies have shown chlorambucil (CHL) and bleomycin (BLE) to be mutagenic in mouse oocytes, almost doubling the number of chemicals previously known to induce mutations in females. The overall CHL-induced mutation rate in oocytes is, however, one order of magnitude below that for male meiotic and postmeiotic stages, and only 1/50 that for early spermatids. For BLE, no specific-locus data for males...
