Sources of variability in data from a lacl transgenic mouse mutation assayEnvironmental and Molecular Mutagenesis - Tập 23 Số 1 - Trang 17-31 - 1994

AbstractExperimental features of a transgenic mouse mutation assay based on a
lacl target transgene from Escherichia coli are considered in detail. Sources of
variability in the experimental protocol that can affect the statistical nature
of the observations are examined with the goal of identifying sources of excess
variation in the observed mutant fractions. The sources include plate‐to‐plate

Validation studies with Muta™ mouse: A transgenic mouse model for detecting mutations in vivoEnvironmental and Molecular Mutagenesis - Tập 18 Số 4 - Trang 308-315 - 1991
B. Myhr
AbstractMutaMouse is a transgenic mouse engineered to detect mutations in vivo
in any tissue of choice by using simple laboratory methods. The target is a
bacterial lacZ gene incorporated via lambda phage into the genome of each mouse
cell such that a concatamer of approximately 40 copies exists at a single site
on both chromosomes of a homologous pair. In order to assess the potential
usefulness ... hiện toàn bộ
Analysis of spontaneous and induced mutations in transgenic mice using a lambda ZAP/lacl shuttle vectorEnvironmental and Molecular Mutagenesis - Tập 18 Số 4 - Trang 316-321 - 1991

AbstractA short term, in vivo mutagenesis assay has been developed utilizing a
lacl target gene contained within a lambda ZAP shuttle vector which has been
incorporated into transgenic mice. Following chemical exposure, the target gene
was recovered from mouse genomic DNA by mixing the DNA with in vitro lambda
phage packaging extract. Mutations within the lacl target were identified by
infecting h... hiện toàn bộ
Neutrophil oxidative metabolism in Down syndrome patients with congenital heart defectsEnvironmental and Molecular Mutagenesis - Tập 51 Số 1 - Trang 57-63 - 2010

AbstractDown syndrome (DS) occurs when an individual has three, rather than two,
copies of the 21st chromosome. Cytosolic superoxide dismutase (SOD‐1) is encoded
by a gene on chromosome 21 and thus, SOD‐1 activity is elevated in patients with
DS. Forty percent of all cases with DS are associated with congenital heart
defects (CHD). Although the contribution of SOD1 to disease phenotype is
unknown,... hiện toàn bộ
A brief overview of mechanisms of mitochondrial toxicity from NRTIsEnvironmental and Molecular Mutagenesis - Tập 48 Số 3-4 - Trang 166-172 - 2007
James J. Kohler, William Lewis
AbstractNucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) in combinations with
other antiretrovirals (highly active antiretroviral therapy, HAART) are the
cornerstones of AIDS therapy, turning HIV infection into a manageable clinical
entity. Despite the initial positive impact of NRTIs, therapeutic experience
revealed serious side effects that appeared to originate in the mitochondria and
which ... hiện toàn bộ
Pyruvate remediation of cell stress and genotoxicity induced by haloacetic acid drinking water disinfection by‐productsEnvironmental and Molecular Mutagenesis - Tập 54 Số 8 - Trang 629-637 - 2013
Azra Dad, Clara H. Jeong, Justin A. Pals, Elizabeth D. Wagner, Michael J. Plewa
Monohaloacetic acids (monoHAAs) are a major class of drinking water disinfection
by‐products (DBPs) and are cytotoxic, genotoxic, mutagenic, and teratogenic. We
propose a model of toxic action based on monoHAA‐mediated inhibition of
glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) as a target cytosolic enzyme.
This model predicts that GAPDH inhibition by the monoHAAs will lead to a severe

Mutations induced by (−)‐anti‐11R,12S‐dihydrodiol 13S,14R‐epoxide of dibenzo[a,l]pyrene in the coding region of the hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (Hprt) gene in Chinese hamster V79 cellsEnvironmental and Molecular Mutagenesis - Tập 41 Số 2 - Trang 131-139 - 2003

AbstractThe polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DB[a,l]P) is an
exceptionally potent carcinogen. Its direct DNA‐reactive metabolite, the fjord
region (−)‐anti‐11R,12S‐dihydrodiol 13S,14R‐epoxide [(−)‐anti‐DB[a,l]PDE], was
used to investigate induction of mutations in the coding region of the
hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (Hprt) gene in Chinese hamster V79 cells.
