Abstract
Using Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells in culture, the authors have defined an assay, CHO/HGPRT, to quantify mutagen-induced cytotoxicity and mutations at the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (hgprt) locus. This assay permits elucidation of the structure-activity relationship and analysis of relative mutagenic potency of various classes of chemical mutagens. By expanding the CHO/HGPRT assay to include chromosome aberration and sister-chromatid exchange (SCE), the authors can analyze the interrelationships of these four distinct biological effects and compare each endpoint for its predictive power of human-level effect.
