Photomutagenicity assays in bacteria: factors affecting assay design and assessment of photomutagenic potential of para-aminobenzoic acid.

abstract：:In the present study we evaluated campthotecin (CPT)-induced chromosomal damage in human lymphocytes in the G0 phase of the cell cycle as revealed by the premature chromosome condensation technique. The results obtained here indicate that CPT was able to induce chromosome fragments in the G0 phase of the cell cycle of...
