Chromosome breakage induced in vivo by a carcinogenic hydrocarbon in bone marrow cells of the Chinese hamster

• THE morphology, incidence and distribution of chromosome breakage induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz (a) anthracene (DMBA) in a Chinese hamster cell line in vitro were studied recently by KATO (1968). The present work - a corresponding study of the immediate effects of DMBA on Chinese hamster cells in vivo - was undertaken as the first step in an investigation of the chromosomes of primary tumors induced by DMBA in the Chinese hamster.
