Abstract excerpt
Transgeneration transmission of the carcinogenic action of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) was studied in two generations of mice using transplacental DMBA initiation followed by postnatal skin tumor promotion with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) in the first generation (F0) and only promotion in the second generation (F1). Local application of TPA resulted in increased skin tumor yield in both...
