| Abstract |
A diploid cell strain (KIZ-7901) of red muntjac (Muntiacus muntjak) has
been established in our laboratory. The diploid chromosome number of red
muntjac (male=7, female=6) is the lowest among all vertebrates, so it is a
good assay system for the testing of chemical mutagens. We use N,N-
methylene-bis(2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole) as the chemical mutagen. The
experimental results show that the greater the dosage of this chemical
uses and the longer the duration of the treatment lasts, the greater the
rates of the sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) are, especially the
frequencies of chromosome aberrations.
