Abstract excerpt
Dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DB[a,l]P), a notorious air pollutant, is the most powerful carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) ever tested. Although the carcinogenicity of PAH may be primarily mediated by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), the in vivo role of AhR in skin carcinogenesis remains to be defined. In this context, we investigated the genotoxic and carcinogenic responses of the AhR-deficient mouse...
