We studied the DNA replicon size in BALB/c and BALB/Mo mouse lymphocytes by the method of bromodeoxyuridine photolysis. After treatment of the BALB/Mo lymphocytes in vitro with mitomycin C, the average DNA replicon size appeared to be significantly smaller than that observed in BALB/c lymphocytes treated similarly. In these conditions an increased susceptibility to SCE induction in BALB/Mo lymphocytes had been observed. In the presence of both mitomycin C and cordycepin (an antiviral drug), both the DNA replicon size and the SCE frequency returned to normal values.

Abstract
We studied the DNA replicon size in BALB/c and BALB/Mo mouse lymphocytes by the method of bromodeoxyuridine photolysis. After treatment of the BALB/Mo lymphocytes in vitro with mitomycin C, the average DNA replicon size appeared to be significantly smaller than that observed in BALB/c lymphocytes treated similarly. In these conditions an increased susceptibility to SCE induction in BALB/Mo lymphocytes had been observed. In the presence of both mitomycin C and cordycepin (an antiviral drug), both the DNA replicon size and the SCE frequency returned to normal values.
