However, the interpretation of data from transgenic animal assays is sometimes complicated by mutants that appear as sectored mutant lambda plaques. These mutants can form a significant fraction of the mutant plaques [Hayward et al. (1 995): Carcinogenesis 16:2429-24331. Thus, in order to accurately
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,
Big Blue ® mice harbor a recoverable transgene in a lambda/LIZ shuttle vector. In the standard assay, in vivo mutations are measured in the bacterial lacI gene using a labor-intensive color plaque assay. Applying a simpler assay : Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 93:9073-9078], we measured mutations in the la
Big BlueTM Rat-2 cells were evaluated for mutagenesis and mutational spectra (spontaneous and ethylnitrosourea [ENUI-induced). Survival, mutant frequency, population doubling time, and kinetics of mutant increase (to 120 hr) were determined. Exposures were 100, 200, 400, 600, and 1,000 Fg ENU/ml. Th
