Abstract
Two transgenic in vivo mutation assays are described which are based on LacZ (Muta Mouse) and LacI (Big Blue) shuttle vector systems. Their utility has already been explored by a number of investigators including our laboratory. The evaluation of data derived from these assays confirm that they offer a practical method for studying mutagenic activity and mechanism in a wide range of tissues including those of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, these transgenic mutation assays are valuable tools to assess the organotropic effects of genotoxic carcinogens.
