Somatic mutation and recombination test in Drosophila melanogasterWiley - Tập 6 Số 2 - Trang 153-188 - 1984
Ulrich Gräf, F.E. Würgler, Alan J. Katz, H. Frei, H. Juon, Caroline B. Hall, P.G. Kale
AbstractA novel test system for the detection of mutagenic and recombinogenic
activity of chemicals is described in detail. Drosophila melanogaster larvae
trans‐heterozygous for the mutations multiple wing hairs (mwh) and flare (fir)
are exposed to the test compounds for various periods of time ranging from 96 hr
to 1 hr. Induced mutations are detected as single mosaic spots on the wing blade
of s... hiện toàn bộ
Pesticide‐induced complete and partial chromosome loss in screens with repair‐defective females of drosophila melanogasterWiley - Tập 5 Số 6 - Trang 835-846 - 1983
R. C. Woodruff, J. P. Phillips, David M. Irwin
AbstractCommercial preparation of fungicides (captan and maneb), herbicides
(bromacil, paraquat, picloram, and 2,4‐D), and insecticides (carbaryl,
chlorpyrifos, dimethoate, DDT, diazinon, carbofuran, and permethrin) were tested
for their ability to induce complete and partial chromosome losses in Drosophila
melanogaster males. In an attempt to identify the mutagenic activity of
pesticides that are... hiện toàn bộ
Sister chromatid exchange and chromosome aberration analyses in mice after in vivo exposure to acrylonitrile, styrene, or butadiene monoxideWiley - Tập 8 Số 3 - Trang 439-448 - 1986
Yousuf Sharief, Arthur Brown, Lorraine C. Backer, James A. Campbell, Barbara Westbrook‐Collins, Andrew G. Stead, James W. Allen
AbstractThe use of polymers in plastic and rubber products has generated concern
that monomers potentially active in biological systems may be eluted from these
substances. We have evaluated two such monomers, acrylonitrile and styrene, for
the induction of chromosome damage in mice. Butadiene monoxide, a presumed
metabolite of a third important monomer, 1,3‐butadiene, was also tested. These
chemi... hiện toàn bộ
Chromosome aberrations and sister chromatid exchanges in styrene‐exposed workers with reference to their smoking habitsWiley - Tập 5 Số 3 - Trang 299-309 - 1983
Toshiaki Watanabe, Akira Endo, Miho Kumai, Masayuki Ikeda
AbstractThe incidences of chromosome aberrations and the frequencies of sister
chromatid exchanges (SCE) were investigated in cultured lymphocytes of 18
styrene‐exposed workers in comparison with six controls. There was a marginal
increase in the incidence of structural chromosomal aberrations in
first‐division metaphases in the styrene‐exposed workers, as compared with the
nonexposed controls. Ho... hiện toàn bộ
Effect of bacterial concentration on reversions induced in salmonella typhimurium TA1538 by N‐hydroxy‐2‐acetylaminofluoreneWiley - Tập 5 Số 4 - Trang 565-575 - 1983
G. L. White, David T. Beranek, Robert H. Heflich
AbstractReversions induced by N‐hydroxy‐2‐acetylaminofluorene (N‐OH‐AAF) were
measured in the Salmonella/microsome quantitative plate assay using various
concentrations of Salmonella typhimurium strain TA 1538. The number of induced
revertants increased with an increasing number of bacteria/plate, but the
variation in reversion frequency was not as great as the variation in bacterial
concentration... hiện toàn bộ
