Abstract excerpt
Genetic instability plays important roles in carcinogenesis. In two cell lines which we established from mammary carcinomas induced in lacI-transgenic rats by 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), spontaneous point mutation rates (MRs) of the endogenous hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (hprt) gene and lacI transgene were found to be increased. The two rat mammary carcinoma cell...
