We have developed a quantitative forward mutation assay using Salmonella typhimurium, in which resistance to the purine analog 8-azaguanine is used as a genetic marker. We present the assay protocol, the concentration-dependent toxicity and mutagenicity of five known mutagens (N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, ICR-191, 9-aminoacridine, dimethylnitrosamine, and benzo[a]pyrene), and reconstruction experiments testing the assay for possible bias. The relative merits of forward versus reverse mutation assays are discussed.
我们开发了一种利用鼠伤寒沙门氏菌的定量正向突变试验,其中对嘌呤类似物8-氮杂鸟嘌呤的抗性被用作遗传标记。我们展示了试验方案、五种已知诱变剂(N-甲基-N'-硝基-N-亚硝基胍、ICR-191、9-氨基吖啶、二甲基亚硝胺和苯并[a]芘)的浓度依赖性毒性和诱变性,以及测试该试验是否存在可能偏差的重建实验。还讨论了正向突变试验与反向突变试验的相对优点。
