The use of Chinese hamster ovary cells to quantify specific locus mutation and to determine mutagenicity of chemicals. A report of the gene-tox program.

TL;DR: The GENE-TOX Group on Specific Gene Mutations in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) Cells has evaluated the use of mutational systems in these cells for identification of mutagenic chemicals, finding the CHO/HGPRT assay has a sound genetic and biochemical basis for quantifying specific locus mutation reproducibly.

Utilization of a quantitative mammalian cell mutation system, CHO/HGPRT, in experimental mutagenesis and genetic toxicology

TL;DR: Evidence for the genetic origin of mutation induction in the CHO/HGPRT system; dose-response relationship for EMS-mediated mutation induction and cell lethality; apparent dosimetry of EMS-induced mutagenesis; structure-activity relationship of alkylating agents and ICR compounds; mutagenicity and cytotoxicity of congeners of two classes of nitrosi compounds.
