A range of 5 chemical mutagens were tested in the Drosophila wing test using 2 different strains and carrying out the experiments in parallel under standardised conditions. The mutagens chosen for the study were the 2 alkylating agents MMS and ENU and the anti-cancer drugs methotrexate, cytosine-arabinoside and adriamycin. As a result of the different genetic backgrounds there was a marked variation in the response of the 2 strains to the mutagens.
在果蝇翅测试中,使用2种不同品系,并在标准化条件下并行开展实验,对5种化学诱变剂进行了测试。本研究选用的诱变剂为2种烷化剂甲磺酸甲酯(MMS)和N-乙基-N-亚硝基脲(ENU),以及抗癌药物甲氨蝶呤、阿糖胞苷和阿霉素。由于遗传背景不同,这2种品系对诱变剂的反应存在显著差异。
