We have combined Fischer and Lerman`s denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, high fidelity DNA amplification, and quantitative mutational measurements in a 104 bp sequence within the third exon of the hprt gene in cultured human TK6 cells in order to observe predominant point mutations. We have now characterized the mutations arising spontaneously or after treatment with ICR-191, MNNG, benzo({alpha})pyrene diol epoxide, ultraviolet light, hyperbaric oxygen, and hydrogen peroxide.
