Methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) is one of the highest production volume chemicals in the USA. Previous results from in vitro genetic toxicity studies suggested that it was not mutagenic. However, chronic exposure at high levels resulted in liver tumors in female mice and kidney tumors in male rat

Three genotoxic mouse carcinogens, 4 c h l o r wphenylenediamine (4-C-o-PDA), 2-nitro-p-phenylenediamine (2-N-pPDA), and 2,4diaminotoluene (2,4-DAT), were tested in the Big BlueTM transgenic mouse mutation assay. Each experiment consisted of a vehicle control group with ten Big BlueTM C57BL/6 mice,
## Abstract In mutation assays using transgenic mice, with recoverable vectors such as ΦX174 __am3, cs70,__ mutations originate from two sources: (1) in vivo mutations, that is, mutations that were fixed in the mouse, or (2) ex vivo mutations, that is, mutations that were fixed during recovery or p
