Bystander effects induced by chemicals and ionizing radiation: evaluation of changes in gene expression of downstream MAPK targets.

abstract：:Three short-term assays (the SOS chromotest, the Ames-fluctuation test and the newt micronucleus test) were carried out to evaluate the genotoxicity of four trihalomethanes (chloroform, bromodichloromethane, chlorodibromomethane and bromoform). With the SOS chromotest, all the chemicals studied except chloroform were ...
