Abstract: | Day 10 rat embryos grown as cultured explants developed characteristic defects when culture media contained cyclophosphamide (6.25 micrograms per milliliter or more), an hepatic microsomal fraction, and cofactors for a monooxygenase system. Cyclophosphamide concentrations as high as 250 micrograms per milliliter were innocuous when either the microsomal material or cofactors were omitted from the medium. These experiments represent the first direct demonstration of bioactivation of a proteratogen. |
