THE DETECTION OF MUTANTS IN MICE BY ELECTROPHORESIS: RESULTS OF A MODEL INDUCTION EXPERIMENT WITH PROCARBAZINE

Male mice of the DBA/2J strain were treated with the mutagen procarbazine and mated with C57BL/6J females. Offspring and parents were then analyzed for electrophoretically expressed mutations. A control group, not mutagen treated, was also examined. Two mutants probably due to induction were identified, and several of spontaneous origin were also found.
