Abstract excerpt
BALB/c-3T3 cells were employed to examine the genotoxic potential of a variety of known chemical carcinogens. BALB/c-3T3 cells displayed a dose-dependent transformation response to a variety of carcinogens (polycyclic hydrocarbons, methylating agents, ethylating agents, aflatoxin B1 [AFB1], and 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide [4-NQO]). When the ability of these compounds to induce mutagenesis to resistance to the...
