Abstract excerpt
Induction of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) by 1,2-epoxy-3-butene (monoepoxybutene, MEB), an epoxide metabolite of 1,3-butadiene, in human whole-blood lymphocyte cultures has previously been observed to depend on the glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) and T1 (GSTT1) genotype of the blood donor. Pretreatment of lymphocyte cultures with a low dose of MEB has been shown to reduce the SCE response obtained by...
