Abstract
Final concentration of 1% Scopolaminum hydrobromatum induced chromatid aberrations, but not reunion figures in HeLa cells. Duration of treatment was 5 hs, begin of treatment 22 resp. 46 hs before harvesting. In contrast to these findings no aberration was induced by Scop. hydr. in human leukocytes and BSC-K cells. It is concluded that mere findings in HeLa cells do not prove mutageneity of a chemical compound in man.
