Abstract excerpt
2-Amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx) is a very potent mutagen which induces tumors in the liver, lung and hematopoietic system of CDF1 mice and the liver, Zymbal gland and skin in F344 rats. The recent development of transgenic knockout mice allows their introduction for sensitive screening of environmental carcinogens due to the rapid development of tumors. P53 gene deficient mice (p53-/-) were...
