Electrophoretically detected germinal mutations induced in the mouse by ethylnitrosourea.
Male DBA/2J and C57BL/6J mice were treated with ethylnitrosourea (EtNU) at a dose of 250 mg/kg of body weight. After a sterile period of 11 weeks, the treated animals were mated with untreated females; treated DBA with C57 and treated C57 with DBA. A small control group of untreated males was established, and a larger control group from earlier experiments was also used for comparison. Tissue s...
متن کاملDifferential response of mouse male germ-cell stages to radiation-induced specific-locus and dominant mutations.
In an attempt to provide a systematic assessment of the frequency and nature of mutations induced in successive stages of spermato- and spermiogenesis, X-irradiated male mice were re-mated at weekly intervals, and large samples of progeny, observed from birth onward, were scored and genetically tested for recessive mutations at seven specific loci and for externally recognizable dominant mutati...
متن کاملDose estimation with the calibration of dose-response curve of micronucleus in human peripheral lymphocytes induced by 50MeV proton beams
Background: The purpose of this paper is to establish an easy and reliable biodosimeter protocol to evaluate the biological effects of proton beams. Materials and Methods: Human peripheral blood lymphocytes were irradiated using proton beams (LET: 34.6 keV μm−1), and the chromosome aberrations induced were analyzed using cytokinesis-blocked (CB) micronucleus (MN) assay. To determine th...
متن کاملEthylnitrosourea-induced transplacental carcinogenesis in the mouse: tumor response, DNA binding, and adduct formation.
We have confirmed previous results which suggest that transplacental exposure of fetal mice to carcinogens does not cause an increase in tumor incidence as they mature unless treatment occurs after midorganogenesis. In C3HeB/FeJ mice we found a negligible increase in tumor incidence and multiplicity following transplacental exposure to the direct-acting carcinogen ethylnitrosourea (ENU) on gest...
متن کاملConstruction of a dose – response curve by induction of premature chromosome condensation for biological dosimetry
Premature Chromosome Condensation (PCC) appears to have a possible utility for biological dosimetry purposes. The PCC technique may be adapted for cases of suspicion of overexposure where sampling is performed at least one day after an accident. For this purpose, human blood samples were exposed in vitro to 60Co up to 10 Gy and the PCC technique was performed immediately after irradiation. Anal...
