title: Mitotic response and sister chromatid exchanges in lymphocytes cultured in sera from different sources.
abstract: The numbers of sister chromatid exchanges in lymphocytes grown in varying concentrations of serum from different sources indicated that some sera contain a factor, probably introduced as a contaminant, which induces SCEs. Sera from 6 animals showed no evidence of a difference in baseline SCE levels due to the donor of the serum.
