Mutagenicity of 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP) in the mouse spot test.
The spot test with 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP) was carried out using male PW and female C57BL/6 mice. DBCP induced recessive colour spots in offspring with a significantly high frequency of 2.9%, showing that this chemical is mutagenic for somatic cells of mice in vivo.
