✦ Synopsis

Dominant lethal mutations are due to chromosome aberrations as demonstrated by analysis of first cleavage. With a sample size of 40-45 mice per dose the induction of dominant lethal mutations by 10 mg/kg of methyl methanesulfonat (MMS) can be detected in spermatids in the mating interval 9-12 days posttreatment (6-11%). In the same mating interval a dose of 150 mg/kg of MMS induces 100% dominant lethal mutations. MMS and other chemical mutagens can be characterized by their different spermatogenic response. The germ cell stage specific induction of dominant lethal mutations by chemical agents is very likely due to their different pathways and therefore, to different effects on the structural and macromolecular changes during spermatogenesis. The feasibility of standardizing test protocol for the dominant lethal assay in mice, based on collaborative studies, is discussed. The reproducibility of results and the sensitivity of the induction of dominant lethal mutations in the collaborative studies demonstrate the usefullness of the method for mutagenicity screening.

Using the dominant lethal assay, the ability of fosfestrol, a diethylstilboestrol derivate, to induce mutations in male mice was tested and confirmed. Up to 300 mg/kg of fosfestrol the induction of mutations occurs exclusively in spermatozoa. A dose of 600 mg/kg of fosfestrol induces dominant lethal

Calcium cyclamate, an artificial sweetener, was studied for its effectiveness in inducing transmissible chromosomal aberrations in germ cells of male mice. Both the dominant-lethal and the heritable translocation tests were carried out following daily treatment (on weekdays) of males by oral intubat
