Description
The L5178Y tk+/- 3.7.2c (IVGT) mouse lymphoma cell line was derived from a thymic tumour induced in a DBA/2 mouse by methylcholanthrene treatment. The cell line is tumourigenic in DBA/2 mice. The cell line can be used in genotoxicity tests including gene mutation assays at the tk and other loci and micronucleus induction.
