Abstract excerpt
The utility of the lacI transgene of Big Blue rats as a reporter of in vivo mutation was evaluated by comparing the frequency and types of mutations induced by thiotepa in the transgene and the endogenous Hprt gene. Transgenic rats were given i.p. injections of 1.4 mg/kg of thiotepa three times p...
