| Abstract: | A comparative study of cytogenetic effects in human lymphocytes caused in vivo by cyclophosphamide (CP) after intravenous injection and in vitro by exposure of plasma of the same patients was carried out. It was found that the frequency of induced chromosome aberrations (CA) and sister-chromatid exchanges (SCE) increased linearly for SCE and exponentially for CA within the 'dose' of alkylating activity of CP metabolites. Parameters of 'cytogenetic effect-dose' in vivo and in vitro coincided. The intensity of cytogenetic effects varied between individuals. |
