Abstract excerpt
Transient expression of rat liver cytochrome P450lA2 cDNA was combined with the use of a shuttle vector as a mutational target to determine the frequency and types of mutation caused by the conversion of aflatoxin B1 into genotoxic metabolites within human cells. Ad293 cells were first transfected with p91-lA2, a rat liver P450lA2 cDNA expression vector, or with p91-lA2(i) (a control vector that has the P450 cDNA...
