Abstract excerpt
To test the hypothesis that nucleotide excision repair (NER) plays a protective role in chemical carcinogenesis in internal organs, xeroderma pigmentosum group A gene-deficient (XPA(-/-)) mice, heterozygous (XPA(+/-)) and wild-type (XPA(+/+)) mice were orally administered 0.001% 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4NQO) in their drinking water and compared. After 50 weeks of 4NQO exposure, tongue squamous cell carcinomas...
