MOLECULAR BIOMARKER OF CADMIUM EXPOSURE IN FRESHWATER FISH: SENSITIVITY AND SPECIFICITY

  • 발행 : 2002.11.01

초록

Metallothioneins (MTs) are known to be induced by heavy metals in various organs of different species and represent a potential biomarker of aquatic contamination by heavy metals. In this work, cloning and sequencing of a metallothionein gene in crucian carp (Carassius auratus) was done and sensitivities and specificities of the gene expressions were compared.(omitted)
