[Reparative DNA synthesis in the lymphocytes of rats exposed to potassium bichromate and manganese chloride in vivo].

The intensity of DNA repair synthesis was studied in rat lymphocytes subjected to the treatment in vivo by various concentrations of potassium bichromate and manganese chloride. It was found that manganese chloride has a direct effect on DNA, causing its damage whereas potassium bichromate has an indirect influence on DNA inhibiting its repair synthesis.
