title: Modest enhancement of ultrasound-induced mutations in V79 cells in vitro.
abstract: V79 cells were insonated (1 MHz, 35 W/cm2, 2 min continuous wave) under temperature conditions previously reported to cause a large increase in acoustic cavitation. The goal was to increase the ease of detecting ultrasound-induced mutations. The data supported the hypothesis that a 3 degrees C gas-equilibration period followed by insonation at 37 degrees C resulted in a detectable increase in resistance to 6-thioguanine with 6 trials per regimen.
