The recent introduction of the phenyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside (P-gal)-based positive-selection system for screening of lambda lacZ phages originating from the lambda lacZ transgenic mouse (Muta Mouse) has made the determination of mutant frequencies (MF) a much simpler task. Previously, MF data from
8-Oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine 5'-triphosphate (8-oxo-dGTP) is produced during normal cellular metabolism, and incorporation into DNA causes transversion mutation. Organisms possess an enzyme, 8-oxo-dGTPase, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of 8-oxo-dGTP to the corresponding nucleoside monophosphate, thereby preventing the occurrence of mutation. There are

Substances that potentially enhance performance (eg, recombinant human erythropoietin [rHuEPO]) are considered doping and are therefore forbidden in sports; however, the scientific evidence behind doping is frequently weak. We aimed to determine the effects of rHuEPO treatment in well trained
The plasmid-based transgenic mouse model, which uses the lacZ gene as the target for mutation, is sensitive to a wide range of in vivo mutations, ranging from point mutations to insertions and deletions extending far into the mouse genome. In
lacZ gene mutations in the transgenic Muta Mmouse can be detected by two different selection systems. While mutant frequencies recovered by phenyl-beta-D-galactoside (P-gal) selection are comparable with those obtained using 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl beta-D-galactopyranoside (X-gal) as substrate for beta-galactosidase, there may still
