โฆ Synopsis
A number of short-term screening assays for potential chemical carcinogens and mutagenainvolve the meaeurement of mutation rates in in viffo cell populations. In this paper, statistical procedures are proposed for the analysis of results from these aseays. The procedures, which are based on previously developed stochastic models of cell growth and mutation, include hypothesis tests for the comparison of mutation rates in treated and control cultures. and estimation and hypotheak tests for the parameters of a linear mutagenesis dose-response. Computer eimulation is usedto validate the methods, and they are illustrated by an analysis of data obtained under the mouse lJT!1phOm8 mutagenesis protocol.

Measurement of the frequency of micronuclei induced in cells by ionizing radiation or by chemical treatment is widely used to analyze cytogenetic damage. The microscopic scoring of micronuclei is a tedious and time-consuming procedure. Therefore, attempts have been made to automate micronuclei scori
