[Mitomycin C induced structural changes in heterochromatic regions of human chromosomes 1, 9, 16 and Y].

Aberrations and variations in the heterochromatic blocks of chromosomes 1, 9, 16 and Y were found under the influence of mitomycin C in cultured lymphocytes of peripheral human blood. Lymphocytes were cultured during 96 hours, mitomycin C in final concentration of 0.3 mkg/ml was present in the culture during the latest 24 hours of culturing.
