✦ Synopsis
The in vivo SCE formation and the induction of chromosome aberrations in the bone marrow of Chinese hamsters (Cricetulus griseus) were studied after various concentrations of cyclophosphamide, and the sensitivity of the two test methods was compared. The administraiton of 1.0, 5.0, 13.3, 25.0, and 40.0 mg/kg body weight induced a dose-dependent increase in SCE. The frequency of chromosome aberration, however, was not increased significantly with doses of 1.0 and 5.0 mg/kg body weight. Only with doses of more than 13.3 mg is a significant induction of chromosome aberrations seen. Therefore the SCE test system seems to be 10 times more sensitive than the induction of chromosome aberrations in the same cell type.
