Original Comments	This strain was established by Inoue of Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation as a tester strain for simultaneous screening of genotoxic, mutagenic and clastogenic activity of chemical compounds. This assay, referred to as a combined assay for the DNA repair test and the wing spot test (somatic mutation and recombination test), is suited for screening mutagenic/carcinogenic activity of chemical compounds 1), 2), 3). The strain carries two types of X chromosome. One is the DNA repair-defective X-chromosome (sc z[1] w[+(TE)] mei-9[a] mei-41[D5]) and the other is the X chromosome balancer ( In(1)FM7 y[31D] sc[8] dm B / (hereafter designated as FM7 / mei-9 mei-41). The X chromosomal genes, mei-9[a] and mei-41[D5], are an excision-repair defective and a post-replication repair defective mutations, respectively. The third chromosome carries multiple wing hair (mwh[]), a wing-cuticle marker which confers multiple wing hairs in a single cell. With regard to DNA repair capability, the stock consists of the following four types of flies: mei-9 mei-41 / mei-9 mei-41 females (DNA repair defective) FM7 / mei-9 mei-41 females (DNA repair proficient) mei-9 mei-41 / Y males (DNA repair defective) FM7 / Y males (DNA repair proficient) In the combined assay, FM7 / mei-9 mei-41; mwh / mwh females are mated with wild-type males (mei-9+ mei-41+; mwh+ / mwh+) and the F1 larvae are treated with a test compound. The insecticide-resistant Oregon R(R) strain is mostly used in place of the wild-type males to increase the test sensitivity for screening mutagens/carcinogens which requires metabolic activation. <References> 1) Inoue H., H.
