Abstract excerpt
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) mediates the biological activity of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin. Whether the AhR can mediate enhanced transcriptional activity in the absence of ligand binding has not been established. Hepatocytes from AhR-null (AhR-KO) and wild-type (AhR-WT) neonatal mice were immortalized with Simian virus 40. Two point mutants of the AhR, A375I and A375F, were generated to test the...
