Abstract excerpt
Butadiene (BD) is an important industrial chemical that is classified as a probable human carcinogen. Butadiene diolepoxide (BDE) and 1,2,3,4-diepoxybutane (DEB) are metabolites of carcinogenic BD and contain the DNA-reactive one and two epoxides, respectively. In this study, the mutation frequencies and mutation spectra that are induced by BDE and DEB have been investigated at the hprt locus in CHO-K1 cells. The...
