Abstract excerpt
The mutagenic spectrum induced by aflatoxin-DNA lesions in DNA repair deficient and repair proficient human cells was investigated. The reactive metabolite aflatoxin B1-8,9-epoxide was synthesized and reacted in vitro with the shuttle vector plasmid pS189. Plasmids were transfected into human fib...
