Abstract excerpt
The mutagenic epoxide metabolite of acrylonitrile, 2-cyanoethylene oxide (ANO), was used to treat human TK6 lymphoblasts (150 microM x 2 h ANO). A collection of hypoxanthine-phosphoribosyltransferase (hprt) mutants was isolated and characterized by dideoxy sequencing of cloned hprt cDNA. Base-pair substitution mutations in the hprt coding region were observed in 19/39 of hprt mutants: 11 occurred at AT base pairs...
