Abstract excerpt
In this study, we examined the mutagenicity of sodium arsenite at the xathine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase locus (gpt) in a pSV2 gpt-transformed CHO cell line AS52. The chemical induced a dose-dependent increase of mutant frequency at the locus. Nested PCR analysis revealed that the majority of arsenite-induced AS52 mutants had totally deleted the gpt gene. For the spontaneous, 50 mumol/L arsenite--and 100...
