HPRT, aprt, supF) revealed a high concordance between these targets.
The mutational specificity of N-methylnitrosourea (MNU), nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), sodium azide (NaN3), 4-nitroquinoline oxide (4NQO), benzo [a] pyrene (BP), nitrofurantoin (NF), aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), adriamycin (ADM) and UVA-activated angelicin in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100 has been examined using allele-specific oligonucleotide hybridization and DNA sequence analyses.

The potent anti-oestrogenic activity, negligible side-effects and anti-breast cancer activity of CC prompted us to evaluate the antimutagenic effects of this compound in a bacterial mutagenicity assay and CHO/HPRT and AS52/GPT mutation assays in vitro and in vivo in female Swiss albino mice as measured by both sister chromatid exchange (SCE) and chromosome aberrations (CA) against three known positive mutagen compounds, dimethylbenz [a] anthracene (DMBA), cyclophosphamide (CP) and mitomycin C (MMC).
Antimutagenicity assays in Salmonella strains TA97a, TA100, TA98 and TA102 were carried out against commonly used known positive mutagens, sodium azide, 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine, cumine hydroperoxide, 2-aminofluorene and danthron.

These cells are therefore sensitive to selection in HAT medium, against cells lacking functional HPRT enzyme.
In contrast, 5 non-carcinogenic agents, including two 'Ames-positive' chemicals, sodium azide and 8-hydroxyquinoline, evoked no more than a 1.7-fold increase in reversion (not significant).
