Abstract excerpt
A Salmonella typhimurium tester strain YG7108 2E1/OR co-expressing human CYP2E1 together with human NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (OR) was established. The mutagen-activating capacity of human CYP2E1 for N-alkylnitrosamines was compared with that of CYP2A6 using the YG7108 2E1/OR and the YG7108 2A6/OR strains of SALMONELLA: Salmonella YG7108 2A6/OR is a derivative of YG7108 co-expressing CYP2A6 together with...
