| Abstract | Microbial mutagenicity assay procedures have received considerable attention recently because of the realization that many chemical carcinogens derive their biological activity from their ability to react chemically with cellular DNA. Since mutagens also derive their capacity to induce hereditary changes from their reactivity with cellular DNA, it was logical that mutagenicity testing methods should be evaluated for their potential to detect carcinogens as mutagens. Indeed, the Salmonella mutagenicity assay procedure recently developed by Ames et al. p(1) has shown a remarkable ability to detect carcinogens as microbial mutagens. p(2,3) Furthermore, a number of investigators have actually demonstrated a relationship between specific mutagenic activity and carcinogenic potential p(14,62) (however, see also references 63–67). |
