Abstract excerpt
Formaldehyde induces squamous cell carcinomas in the nasal passages of rats following chronic inhalation exposure at concentrations of > or = 10 ppm. We have examined the complementary DNA of the tumor suppressor gene p53 from 11 primary formaldehyde-induced tumors for mutation using DNA sequence analysis. A polymerase chain reaction-amplified fragment of the rat p53 complementary DNA containing the...
