Abstract excerpt
We recently demonstrated that not all organs with a high rate of induction of mutation in the lacZ transgene develop tumors in the lambdalacZ transgenic mice (MutaMouse) used for a long-term carcinogenicity study with benzo[a]pyrene (BP). To better understand the role of chemical-induced in vivo mutations in carcinogenesis, we compared the mutational spectra of the lacZ transgene in four organs of the MutaMouse...
