(BANBURY REPORT; 2) MAMMALIAN CELL MUTAGENESIS: The Maturation of Test Systems

Cold Spring Harbor: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1979. Printed Coated Boards. Very Good/No Jacket. 9 3/16" Tall. These are the proceedings of a meeting held at Banbury Center in May 1979. "This report of a conference on the rapidly expanding field of mammalian cell mutagenesis,... is the second of the Banbury Center series of highly focused explorations of biological risk assessment. The Banbury conferences give particular attention to methods, such as in vitro tests and the analysis of human medical data, for measuring risks from environmental sources of cancer, which in turn point to opportunities for prevention." The session topics were: Gene Mutation; Quantative Mutagenesis with Rodent Cells; Criteria for a Mutagen Screening System; Genetic, Biochemical, and Molecular Analysis of Mutation; Use of Mutagen Screening Systems; Quantative Mutagenesis of Human Cells; and Mutation, Cancer, and Progress with Mutagen Testing. Seven sessions, 35 papers, four roundtables, with tables, figure, halftones, Summary, Perspective, and Bibliography; plus Participants, Preface, Contents, and Foreword; Comments at the end of each paper. Covers show fading, nips at front leading edges, and general shelf-use; text is clean and strong.
