Abstract excerpt
The direct-acting cytotoxic properties of N-hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene (N-OH-AAF) and N-hydroxy-2-aminofluorene (N-OH-AF) have been determined in repair-proficient (AA8-4) and repair-deficient (UV-5) Chinese hamster ovary cells. Cytotoxicity comparisons indicate that UV-5 cells are considerably more sensitive to exposure to N-OH-AAF than is the parental AA8-4 cell line, i.e., concentrations needed to obtain a...
