Abstract

See full text

An assay is disclosed for determining mutagenic damage caused by the administration of a known or suspected mutagen to bacterial cells such as Salmonella typhimurium. After administration of or exposure to a mutagenic agent, the bacterial cells are plated in the presence of a purine analog and resistance to purine analogs is used as the genetic marker. This bioassay system can be used by genetic toxicologists to determine the potential genetic hazards from the use of a variety of suspected or known mutagens, including newly-developed chemicals.
