Human sister chromatid exchange caused by methylazoxymethanol acetate. 1977

L A Evans, and M J Kevin, and E C Jenkins

The incidence of sister chromatid exchange was determined in human leucocyte cultures treated with methylazoxymethanol acetate. In all individuals examined, treated cultures manifested a significantly higher frequency of sister chromatid exchanges than controls. Two concentrations of MAM AC were tested in blood cultures from nine individuals. The concentrations varied from individual to individual since they were determined by means of individual dose-response curves, which involved [3H]-thymidine incorporation in PHA-stimulated short-term lymphocyte cultures versus MAM AC contraction. The lower concentration was less than the TD50 dose. Compared to control cultures, the lower concentration caused a higher incidence of sister chromatid exchange in eight of nine individuals. The cumulative mean value for all control cultures was 5.32 exchanges per cell while that for cultures treated with the higher concentration was 10.73.

D003434 Crossing Over, Genetic The reciprocal exchange of segments at corresponding positions along pairs of homologous CHROMOSOMES by symmetrical breakage and crosswise rejoining forming cross-over sites (HOLLIDAY JUNCTIONS) that are resolved during CHROMOSOME SEGREGATION. Crossing-over typically occurs during MEIOSIS but it may also occur in the absence of meiosis, for example, with bacterial chromosomes, organelle chromosomes, or somatic cell nuclear chromosomes.
