The rates of escision repair at various doses and times after MNNG treatment in CHO cells were compared with the frequencies of chromosome aberrations to determine a possible relation between there two types of biological phenomena, and the results obtained were as follows: 1. the MNNG-induced excision repair was dose-dependent in te ranges between $0.5 \\times 10^-5$M. The maximum rate of excision repair was occurred in the cells soon after the treatment. The rates were then gradually decreased and appeared about 66% of 0 hour at 24 hours. 2. The rates of chromosome aberrations induced by MNNG was the highest at 6 hours, in which majority were chromatid deletions. The rates of chromatid deletions decreased, whereas chromatid exchanges increased with time, resulting is about equal rates at 24 hours after treatment. 3. The rates of excision repair at different times after MNNG treatment were roughly related to the total breaks per cell. The rates, however, did not show any relation to either chromatid exchanges or deletions. These results may suggest that excision repair may not be directly related to chromosome aberrations in MNNG treated CHO cells.
