Quantitative analysis of the chromosomal injuries following in vitro addition of various cytostatic agents to short-term human leukocyte cultures was carried out. The data obtained suggest that the cytogenic action of these various compounds in vitro follows a pattern similar to its action when administered therapeutically to man. The technics used may form the basis of further evaluation of the cytogenetic activity of these various compounds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
