Sister chromatid exchange (SCE) values were determined in bone marrow cells isolated from mouse (Mus musculus) femurs after injections of 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU) and 5-fluorodeoxyuridine (FrdU). Male mice of C3H/J, C57BL/6J, and DBA/2 strains maintained in the laboratory gave mean SCE values of 3.42 ± 0.07, 3.62 ± 0.08, and 3.97 ± 0.13, respectively. Males obtained from natural populations of southwestern Ontario had a higher mean SCE value (6.02 ± 0.16), as did inbred males maintained in outdoor enclosures for at least 3 weeks (5.07 ± 0.22). Wild mice housed in the laboratory for 9 months or longer had SCE values similar to laboratory bred mice (3.46 ± 0.05). The SCE values in wild-caught mice were inversely proportional (r = −0.49) to the distance between the sites where these animals were collected and the nearest major industrial center. Based on these results, SCE analysis in mice is proposed as a possible first-line monitoring procedure for the detection of general changes in environmental genotoxicity.Key words: environmental genotoxicity, sister chromatid exchange, bone marrow cells, BrdU, FrdU, mouse.
