The mouse peripheral blood micronucleus assay, a measure of DNA damage in erythroblastic cells, was used to determine: (1) the incidence of spontaneously occurring micronucleated reticulocytes (MNRETs) as a function of age, and (2) the induction of micronuclei following treatment of young and old animals with mitomycin C.
