Abstract excerpt
The lymphocyte Hprt gene has been used extensively as a reporter locus to monitor the mutational effects of the exposure of animals to genotoxicants. Implicit in this view of the function of a reporter gene is the assumption that its mutagenic response is representative of that of other genes in the organism. As a test of this hypothesis we compared the frequency of 6-thioguanine-resistant (TGr) mutants at the...
