Abstract excerpt
The mutagenic activation of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) after exposure to aorta smooth muscle cells of different origin was examined. Three test systems with different genetic endpoints--sister-chromatid exchange (SCE), gene mutation at the hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HGPRT) locus and unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS)--were used. Treatment of rat and rabbit aorta smooth muscle cells with BaP (1-6...
