    Abstract

    The cytogenetic effects of Myleran were examined in bone-marrow cells from male mice. To study the dose-response relationship the male mice were injected with 5, 10, 20 or 40 mg of Myleran/kg. Bone-marrow samples were prepared 24 h later. The time response was investigated by examining bone-marrow samples 1, 2, 4 or 10 days after i.p. injection of 40 mg of Myleran. Most of the structural aberrations were of the chromatid type and the dose-response relationship was linear. The chromatid and chromosomal aberrations were maximal at 2 days and decreased sharply after longer intervals of time.
