Abstract excerpt
To assess the role of DNA alkylation damage in oncogene activation, plasmid DNA containing H-ras proto-oncogene (p220-EC) and oncogene (p220-EJ) were treated with increasing concentrations of carcinogenic methylnitrosourea (MNU) and ethylnitrosourea (ENU). The modified plasmid DNA were analyzed by transfection-transformation of the NIH/3T3-recipient cells. Treatment with varying doses of MNU (0.1-5 mM) and ENU...
