In agreement with our earlier findings, about half of the micronuclei isolate* from vehicle control mice showed centromere signals a analyzed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with a mouse major (gamma) satellite DNA probe. In an earlie experiment with mice acutely exposed to the same chem icals, the clastogens MMC and Ara-C did not reduce thi proportion of micronuclei with centromere signals. In the present study, however, MMC and Ara-C decreased the proportion of micronuclei with centromeres. In contrast the spindle poisons COL and VBL increased the proportion of micronuclei that contained centromeres.}, pages = {513--516}, title = {Analysis by fluorescence in situ hybridization with a mouse gamma satellite DNA probe of isolated micronuclei induced in mice by two clastogens and two spindle poisons}, volume = {10}, year = {1995} }
