Abstract excerpt
The evaluation of the relationship between the dose to DNA of a genotoxic carcinogen and in vivo somatic cell mutagenesis may provide important information on the mechanisms leading to induced mutational events. The induction of DNA adducts and DNA mutations in different tissues of lacZ plasmid-based transgenic mice has been investigated following a single intraperitoneal administration of the polycyclic aromatic...
