Following acute and chronic exposures to various chemicals in vivo, the average SCE frequency in human and rabbit lymphocytes has generally been shown to decrease with time posttreatment. The rate of this decline varies, however, and little data have been published pertaining to the decrease in SCEs soon after exposure. To gain more information about the immediate decline in SCEs with time, we injected rabbits with a single dose of 35 mg/kg cyclophosphamide (CP) and determined SCE levels in circulating lymphocytes at various times 5 h to 2 weeks after treatment. We observed a rapid decline in SCE frequencies within 5 days, and by 10 days post-exposure the SCE levels were back to control values. The distribution of SCEs among cells and the number of circulating lymphocytes were also analyzed at each time. Within 2-3 days posttreatment we observed a rapid loss of cells with high SCE levels concomitantly with a rapid decline in circulating lymphocytes and a decrease in the average SCE frequency. When the number of lymphocytes began to increase, the number of cells with normal SCE values also increased. By 10-11 days after CP, the lymphocyte count had recovered, the SCE frequency had returned to control levels, and the distribution of SCEs among cells was almost identical to the control distribution. These data, in addition to published information on rabbit lymphocyte lifespan, suggest that the decline in SCE levels with time posttreatment is a function of lymphocyte turnover.
