Abstract
The mouse lymphoma assay (MLA) and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell assay are sensitive indicators of mutagenicity. The CHO assay has been modified technically to permit treatment in suspension and soft agar cloning comparable to the MLA. This methodology eliminates the risk of metabolic cooperation and the trauma of trypsinization. In addition, a larger population of cells can be treated and cloned for mutant selection. In order to compare the...
