title: Bleomycin-induced structural chromosomal aberrations in spermatogonia and bone-marrow cells of mice.
abstract: The induction of structural chromosomal aberrations by bleomycin (BLM) was studied in bone-marrow cells and spermatogonia of the mouse at doses of 10, 20, 40 and 80 mg/kg. BLM induced genetically important reciprocal translocations in stem-cell spermatogonia as measured with the spermatocyte test, and the response of bone-marrow cells to BLM was not markedly different from that of spermatogonia.
