Synergism of mutant frequencies in the mouse lymphoma cell mutagenicity assay by binary mixtures of methyl methanesulfonate and ethyl methanesulfonate.
The effect of mixed mutagen exposures on the rate and type of induced mutants was studied in the L5178Y/TK+/-----TK-/- mouse lymphoma cell mutagenicity assay. In this assay, exposure to ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) results in more mutants that form large colonies than small colonies. Exposure to methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) results in more mutants that form small colonies than large colonies. ...
متن کاملBrahmarasayana protects against Ethyl methanesulfonate or Methyl methanesulfonate induced chromosomal aberrations in mouse bone marrow cells
BACKGROUND Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine has given great emphasis to the promotion of health. Rasayana is one of the eight branches of Ayurveda which refers to rejuvenant therapy. It has been reported that rasayanas have immuno-modulatory, antioxidant and antitumor functions, however, the genotoxic potential and modulation of DNA repair of many rasayanas have not been eval...
متن کاملMethyl Methanesulfonate
Bacillus subtilis was not inactivated and was able to replicate even though approximately 3 X 104 methyl groups added by methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) were bound to the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of each organism. No significant loss of methyl groups from the DNA occurred for several generations upon incubation of methylated wild-type or MMS-sensitive cells. Single-strand breaks were not obser...
متن کاملMolecular analysis of ethyl methanesulfonate-induced mutations at the hprt gene in the ethyl methanesulfonate-sensitive Chinese hamster cell line EM-C11 and its parental line CHO9.
The Chinese hamster cell line EM-C11 has been shown to be 5 times more sensitive than its parental line CHO9, but not hypermutable, after treatment with ethyl methanesulfonate. Ethyl methanesulfonate-induced mutational spectra were determined at the hprt locus to investigate whether the same adducts are responsible for mutation induction in both cell lines. The mutational spectra for EM-C11 and...
متن کاملViability mutations induced by ethyl methanesulfonate in Drosophila melanogaster.
MUKAI and YAMAZAKI ( 1964, 1968) discovered a coupling-repulsion effect in Drosophila melanogaster. If mutant polygenes are located in only one of the homologous chromosomes, they show overdominance-this has been called the “coupling effect.” On the other hand, if mutant polygenes are located in both homologous chromosomes, they are deleterious in the heterozygous condition in comparison to the...
