title: Induction of micronuclei in peripheral blood and bone marrow erythrocytes of rats and mice exposed to 1,3-butadiene by inhalation.
abstract: Female CB6F1 mice and male Wistar rats were exposed to different concentrations of 1,3-butadiene (1,3-BD) by inhalation. Micronucleus tests using both peripheral blood erythrocytes and femoral marrow cells of these animals were performed. Cells were stained either using conventional acridine orange (AO) staining or supravitally using AO-coated slides. Dose-dependent increases in the frequency of micronuclei (MN) were observed both in blood and in bone marrow cells in mice. 1,3-BD did not, however, increase the frequency of MN in either blood or bone marrow cells of rats at any of the tested concentrations.
