CONT

We describe here an improved test for potential carcinogens based upon lysogenic induction. The procedure involves the use of activated chemicals and new permeable tester bacteria (envA) also deficient in DNA repair (uvrB). Three variants of this efficient, simple, and inexpensive lysogenic induction test (inductest) are reported and discussed.

DEF

Test qui utilise le phénomène d'induction lysogénique pour rechercher les propriétés cancérigènes de certains produits chimiques.

CONT

C'est pourquoi des chercheurs du laboratoire d'enzymologie du CNRS [...] ont cherché à mettre au point un autre test de cancérigènes potentiels plus fidèle, basé sur le phénomène d'induction lysogénique: l'inductest [...] L'inductest se produit dans la majorité des cellules bactériennes et rend possible un test biochimique. La corrélation substance lysogène inductrice = substance cancérigène semble plus faible que la corrélation cancérigène - mutagène de Ames.
