potential mutagen and provides useful information on cytotoxicity and cell-cycle specific mutagenicity of the agent being tested. Two different techniques are compared by studying the bone-marrow smears of irradiated mice.
A straining technique is described which detects the chromosome-breaking effects of a potential mutagen and provides useful information on cytotoxicity and cell-cycle specific mutagenicity of the agent being tested. Two different techniques are compared by studying the bone-marrow smears of irradiated mice.
