Abstract excerpt
The activation of the c-Ha-ras gene and its carcinogen specificity were examined in squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) induced by the mutagenic heterocyclic amines 2-amino-3-methylimidazo [4,5-f]quinoline (IQ),2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx), and 2-amino-3,4-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (MeIQ) in the Zymbal gland in rats. DNA fragments of the c-Ha-ras gene were amplified from formalin-fixed...
