Abstract excerpt
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) as a group of persistent organic pollutants are confirmed human carcinogens; however, their mutagenicity remains mostly unknown. We have reported the mutagenicity of some PCBs with one to four chlorines in mammalian cells expressing human CYP2E1. To further explore the structural requirements for the mutagenicity of PCBs, eight tri- and tetrachlorobiphenyls untested before were...
