Evaluation of the L5178Y mouse lymphoma cell mutagenesis assay: interlaboratory reproducibility and assessment.

abstract：:Perturbation of DNA replication by chemical-DNA adducts produced by exposure to mutagenic/carcinogenic chemicals results in mutagenic or cytotoxic damage in the DNA. Demonstration of a correlation between cell cycle dependency of cytotoxicity and point mutation at the Na+/K+ ATPase gene could suggest that the two cons...
