After treatment of mice with ethylnitrosourea in vivo, induction of 6-thioguanine-resistant splenic lymphocytes was measured in vitro. The lymphocytes were mitogen-stimulated in presence of thioguanine. After a culture period of 30 h, TG resistance was determined by the ability of cells to incorporate [3H]thymidine. The results suggest that at this selection condition the majority of resistant cells stem from somatic mutations. Thus, the system is potentially useful as a screening assay for somatic mutagenesis testing. The problem of misleading results due to the presence of phenocopies was investigated by treatment in vitro with UV radiation or ethylnitrosourea.
