The data on the dose dependencies of the induction of sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) and chromosomal aberrations during exposure of mouse bone marrow cells in vivo to 5 alkylating substances are provided. The efficacy of SCE induction was found to be higher than that of chromosomal aberrations. It was established that SCE induced by chemical mutagens in vivo and in vitro are more sensitive and stable tests than chromosomal aberrations.
