Antimutagenic Activity of Vitamins in Cultured Mammalian Cells

  • Chapter
Antimutagenesis and Anticarcinogenesis Mechanisms II

Part of the book series: Basic Life Sciences ((BLSC,volume 52))

Abstract

Cultured mammalian cell systems are useful for detecting quantitatively the mutagenicity and antimutagenicity of chemicals under strictly controlled conditions. These systems have some specific characteristics which are not seen in microbial systems.
