Mutations induced by (-)-anti-11R,12S-dihydrodiol 13S,14R-epoxide of dibenzo[a,l]pyrene in the coding region of the hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (Hprt) gene in Chinese hamster V79 cells.

Abstract excerpt
The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DB[a,l]P) is an exceptionally potent carcinogen. Its direct DNA-reactive metabolite, the fjord region (-)-anti-11R,12S-dihydrodiol 13S,14R-epoxide [(-)-anti-DB[a,l]PDE], was used to investigate induction of mutations in the coding region of the hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (Hprt) gene in Chinese hamster V79 cells. Cells exposed to 1-10 nM...
