Abstract excerpt
Lung cells isolated from AC3F1 (A/J x C3H/HeJ) mice 7 wk after treatment with the carcinogenic mycotoxin aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) were examined for point mutations in the Ki-ras oncogene. Ki-ras mutant allele frequencies in fractions enriched with nonciliated bronchiolar epithelial (Clara) cells were consistently higher than in alveolar type II cell fractions. Mutant alleles were undetectable or minimal in macrophage-...
