Abstract excerpt
Inbred, congenic and transgenic strains of mice were characterized for acetylation of p-aminobenzoic (PABA) and the carcinogen 4-aminobiphenyl (4ABP). C57Bl/6 mice have the NAT2*8 allele, A/J mice have NAT2*9 and congenic B6.A mice have NAT2*9 on the C57Bl/6 background. The first transgenic strain with human NAT1, the functional equivalent of murine NAT2, was also tested. The murine NAT2*9 allele correlated with...
