Environmental carcinogen exposures contribute to the development of oral cancer and improved test systems for the analysis of such carcinogens are needed. We have previously isolated and characterized an epithelial cell line from the tongue of a BigBlue rat. Now, we have established an immortalized fibroblast cell line from the same organ. We exposed these cells to 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide (NQO), a well-known...
