Studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of experimental protocol on the ability of benzidine (BZD), dimethylbenzanthracene (DMBA) and mitomycin C (MMC), administered by intraperitoneal injection, to induce micronuclei in polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) of B6C3F1 mice. Three different treatment/sampling protocols were used, involving from one to three consecutive daily treatments and from three to one, respectively, consecutive daily samplings beginning 24 h after the last injection. DMBA and MMC elicited a significant micronucleus response in all three experimental protocols, while BZD induced a significant response only in the multiple injection protocols. Of the three protocols, the 3-day injection/single sample time protocol offers the greatest efficiency in minimizing the number of animals required in a study, in decreasing the time needed for scoring and in simplifying the statistical analysis. In addition, a comparison of the frequency of micronucleated PCE in peripheral blood and bone marrow following the treatment of mice with either BZD or DMBA suggests that, following a three injection protocol, either tissue can be used with equal efficacy.

D007274 Injections, Intraperitoneal Forceful administration into the peritoneal cavity of liquid medication, nutrient, or other fluid through a hollow needle piercing the abdominal wall. Intraperitoneal Injections,Injection, Intraperitoneal,Intraperitoneal Injection
D008297 Male Males
D008937 Mitomycins A group of methylazirinopyrroloindolediones obtained from certain Streptomyces strains. They are very toxic antibiotics used as ANTINEOPLASTIC AGENTS in some solid tumors. PORFIROMYCIN and MITOMYCIN are the most useful members of the group.
D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
