Abstract excerpt
Arsenite effects on the benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide (BPDE)-DNA adduct-induced mutation were evaluated in three human lung cell-lines--A549 (wild-type p53), WI38-VA13 (p53 inhibited by SV40 large-T antigen), and H1299 (p53-null)--by using the pSP189 shuttle vector, which carries a mutation target supF gene. Arsenite alone had no significant effect on the spontaneous supF mutation. BPDE modification of pSP189...
