Mutagenicity and toxicity of amitrole. II. Human lymphocyte culture tests.
Effects of amitrole (3-amino-1,2,4-triazole) on human leucocytes in culture were investigated. Amitrole interfered with lymphoblast transformation and inhibited cell growth in concentrations of 0.2% w/v and higher. Selected metaphases were examined for the presence of chromosome and chromatid aberrations. No clastogenic effects were observed.
