Cytarabin, den aktive substans i DepoCyte, er mutagent i in vitro tests og klastogent in vitro (kromosom aberrationer og søster kromatid udveksling i humane leukocytter) og in vivo (kromosom aberrationer og søster kromatid udveksling assay i gnaver- knoglemarv, muse micronucleus assay).
The active ingredient of DepoCyte, cytarabine, was mutagenic in in vitro tests and was clastogenic in vitro (chromosome aberrations and sister chromatid exchange in human leukocytes) and in vivo (chromosome aberrations and sister chromatid exchange assay in rodent bone marrow, mouse micronucleus assay).
