TL;DR: It is concluded that bone marrow cells can be replaced by peripheral blood as material for the micronucleus assay and the distinction between young and mature erythrocytes was clearer and less subjective.
490 citations
TL;DR: A simple modification of the Salmonella/microsome liquid-incubation procedure improves the sensitivity of the assay for detecting mutagens in human urine and was approximately 14 times more sensitive in detecting the mutagenic activity of benzo[ a ]pyrene.
326 citations
TL;DR: A polyclonal antiserum raised against UV-irradiated DNA can be used to assay cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and Pyr(6-4)Pyo photoproducts specifically by changing the nature of the 32P-labelled antigen.
263 citations
TL;DR: In a short feasibility study, the induction of nuclear anomalies in the peripheral blood erythrocytes of fish by the genotoxic compound ethyl methanesulphonate was detected and nuclear segments resembling the particles found in mammalian micronucleus tests were detected.
241 citations
TL;DR: The results show a large variability in the individual SCE base-line frequency, and the importance of the proliferating rate of the culture in determining the SCE frequency is stressed.
