Considers research on the protection of chromosomes from the action of chemical mutagens by the use of natural and synthetic antimutagens (anticlastogens). The data, obtained from in vitro and in vivo studies, is discussed as aspects of importance in mutagen-exposed humans.
"Anticlastogens in Mammalian and Human Cells" covers research on the protection of chromosomes from the action of chemical mutagens by use of natural and synthetic antimutagens, which, because of their specific action on clastogenic damage, are called anticlastogens. Based on an introductory chapter on nature and mode of formation of chromosome aberrations induced by chemical and also physical mutagens, the action of anticlastogens is discussed in detail. A definition and delineation of the term anticlastogenesis is followed by considerations on the various possibilities of classifying anticlastogens. Attention is paid to the action of anticlastogens in mammalian and human cell culture systems. In vivo data on anticlastogens are presented in great detail, as are the actions of anticlastogens on induced sister chromatid exchanges in various test systems. A mainly historical side-glance at the action of anticlastogens on chromosome damage induced by ionizing radiation is taken. The practical consequences of the findings on anticlastogenic action are extensively discussed as aspects of further research.
This monograph on mutagenesis research, genetics and environmental toxicology is intended for researchers and advanced students.
