Abstract excerpt
This study was designed to evaluate the point mutations in the murine c-Ha-ras gene of skin papillomas induced by initiation with dibenz[a,j]anthracene (DB[a,j]A), its bay-region anti-diol epoxide ((+/-)anti-DB[a,j]A-DE), and a 7,14-dimethyl analogue (7,14-diMeDB[a,j]A). Recent studies (Nair RV, et al., Chem Res Toxicol 4:115-122, 1991) in our laboratory have revealed both deoxyguanosine (dGuo) and deoxyadenosine...
