Abstract excerpt
We have compared the response of the native hprt gene and the lacI, cII, and cI transgenes in Big Blue B6C3F1 mice following treatment with either N-nitroso-N-methylurea (MNU) or benzo[a]pyrene (BaP). Three weeks after mutagen treatment splenic T cells were isolated from the animals, and samples were either cultured to measure mutation at the native hprt locus or used to extract genomic DNA for transgene mutation...
