The micronucleus test with mouse spleen cells
Mutation Research Letters, 1983The results of this study show that the micronucleus test can be carried out with mouse spleen cells as well as with cells from bone marrow. Polychromatic erythrocytes occurred in the spleen at a frequency of about 9% of the whole spleen cells compared with about 13% in the bone marrow. 3 test compounds were used to compare the frequency of micronuclei

The micronucleus test in piscine erythrocytes
Aquatic Toxicology, 2006Cytogenetic assays on aquatic organisms are essential, as humans are exposed throughout their lifetime to several xenobiotics present in both the water and aquatic food. The micronucleus test showed to be a useful in vivo assay for genotoxicity testing. However, many aspects of its protocol need to be refined, knowledge of confounding factors should be

The micronucleus test: Statistical design and analysis
Mutation Research/Environmental Mutagenesis and Related Subjects, 1979Alternative statistical procedures are discussed which may be employed to compare the incidences among treatment groups of micronucleated polychromatic and normochromatic erythrocytes and their ratios. Comparison of incidences of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes using a sequential sampling strategy based on the negative binomial distribution ...

Mercury, one of the most widely diffused and hazardous organ-specific environmental contaminants, exists in a wide variety of physical and chemical states, each of which with unique characteristics of target organ specificity (Aleo et al. 2002). In nature the different forms of mercury include the metallic form, inorganic compounds, as well as alkyl ...

In vivo micronucleus test using mouse hepatocytes
Mutation Research/Environmental Mutagenesis and Related Subjects, 1989The bone-marrow micronucleus (BMM) test is highly specific for clastogenic effects but its sensitivity is determined to a great extent by the substances tested, particularly by their metabolism. Some compounds, such as unstable mutagens or those which generate short-lived metabolites, are not detected in this test because the metabolites produced in ...

In vivo somatic chromosome mutation tests are usually carried out using the bone marrow micronucleus test in the mouse. This test is also considered predictive for the study of clastogenic effects in germ cells. However, it has been reported that the sensitivity of the bone marrow micronucleus test is insufficient to detect unstable compounds or short ...

Genetic toxicological testing of some dyes by the micronucleus test
Mutation Research/Genetic Toxicology, 1986Three widely used dyes, acridine orange, blue VRS and fast green FCF were administered to male mice in order to study the induction of gross chromosomal anomalies using the micronucleus test. All 3 compounds were shown to be clastogenic.

The Micronucleus Test on Exfoliated Human Cells
1985The frequency of micronuclei in exfoliated human or animal cells can be used as an “endogenous dosimeter” present in tissues which are targets for carcinogenic and genotoxic agents and from which carcinomas arise. The application of the micronucleus test to exfoliated cells of various human tissues will provide evidence of exposure to carcinogens and ...

Strain difference in the micronucleus test
Mutation Research/Genetic Toxicology, 1988Abstract The Collaborative Study Group for the Micronucleus Test, a task group of the Environmental Mutagen Society of Japan, has earlier addressed the question of sex difference as a source of variation in the micronucleus test. Strain difference, another issue in test protocols requiring urgent clarification, was selected as the subject of the ...
