Abstract excerpt
In the human glutathione S-transferase (GST) mu gene family, homozygous deletion of GSTM1 is the null phenotype (frequency of approximately 50% in Caucasians). In the current study, GSTM1 status was determined in human cell lines using reverse transcriptase, polymerase chain reaction, and immunochemistry. Cell lines were challenged with a range of doses of styrene-7,8-oxide (SO) and then toxicity and genotoxicity...
