Aneugenic effects of epirubicin in somatic and germinal cells of male mice.

The ability of the antineoplastic agent epirubicin to induce aneuploidy and meiotic delay in the somatic and germinal cells of male mice was investigated by fluorescence in situ hybridization assay using labeled DNA probes and BrdU-incorporation assay. Mitomycin C and colchicine were used as positiv...
