摘要
Male and female mice from two hybrid strains and a random-bred one were subjected to dominant-lethal induction with ethyl methanesulfonate. In female mice, 1 strain revealed a strong mutagenic action of ethyl methanesulfonate while the other 2 strains did not. In male mice, all 3 strains exhibited high sensitivity to the mutagenic action of ethyl methanesulfonate with only minor strain differences. The results thus revealed the existence of large sex differences in 2 of the 3 strains and large strain differences in the response of females. © 1969.
