New homozygous gpt delta transgenic rat strain improves an efficiency of the in vivo mutagenicity assay
Abstract Background Gene mutation assays in transgenic rodents are useful tools to investigate in vivo mutagenicity in a target tissue. Using a lambda EG10 transgene containing reporter genes, gpt delta transgenic mice and rats have been developed to detect point mutations and deletions. The transge...
