The former US. EPA OPPT tiered test scheme for heritable gene mutations included the Drosophila sex-linked recessive lethal (SLRL) test in which positive results triggered the mouse specific locus (MSL) test. However, review of available literature indicated that the evaluation of mutations in the g

It has recently been shown that, when irradiated, human epithelial cells produce a factor or signal in the culture medium that can reduce the clonogenic survival of unirradiated cells. The mechanism is unknown, as is the nature of the signal or substance. In this paper, we show that the medium from
Connexin32 (Cx32) is a gap junction protein and its mutations are responsible for X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. We examined the functional abnormality of C6 glioma cells transfected with mutant (C53S and P172R) Cx32 genes. Nontransfected C6 did not express Cx32. Northern and Western blot ana
