Abstract excerpt
To gain insight into the mechanisms by which carcinogens induce mutations in human cells, we have been comparing the frequency and spectrum of mutations induced when a shuttle vector, pS189, carrying covalently bound residues of structurally related carcinogens, replicates in human 293 cells. In the present study, we investigated the mutagenic effects of N-hydroxy-1-amino-6-nitropyrene, a partially reduced...
