Figure 5

Spontaneous and particle-induced mutations in the coding region of the gpt gene. Mutations obtained from the control mice are shown above the wild type sequence, and mutations obtained from the particle-treated mutant clone are shown below the wild type sequence. The types of particles are indicated by color coding: red for C60, blue for CB and sky blue for kaolin. Mutation types, base substitution, and deletion and insertion are indicated by circle, triangle, and inverted triangle, respectively.
