Abstract
Within man's environment there are many more mutagens than man
can possibly estimate. Within the last 25 years man himself has
exploited one of the most powerful mutagens, high energy radiation,
for both peaceful and military use. The potential use of an anti-mutagen
against radiation and other mutagens are as numerous as the
mutagens themselves. As mentioned in the introduction, M. G. Sevag
found quinacrine hydrochloride to be effective in preventing the
development of bacteria resistant to antibiotics. The purpose of
this work is to extend the use of quinacrine to a more complex animal
and effective mutagen, radiation.
