  • Title: Patulin, a further clastogenic mycotoxin, is negative in the SCE assay in Chinese hamster V79-E cells in vitro.
    Author: Thust R, Kneist S, Mendel J.
    Journal: Mutat Res; 1982 Jan; 103(1):91-7. PubMed ID: 7057787.
    Abstract:
    Patulin is a potent inducer of chromatid-type aberrations in Chinese hamster V79-E cells, but loses its activity when 9000 g supernatant of rat-liver homogenate is added. The narrow dose range of patulin clastogenicity shows a quantitative relationship between absolute amount of mycotoxin applied and the number of indicator cells treated. Within a dose range permitting survival of V79-E, patulin does not induce an increase of the SCE rate. It is suggested that patulin clastogenicity is caused by interaction with chromosomal proteins and that DNA is not the virtual target of this mycotoxin.
