Abstract excerpt
We have previously reported that quinoline increased the mutation frequency of the cII gene in the liver of lambda/lacZ transgenic mice (Muta™Mouse), and G:C to C:G transversions were the molecular signature of quinoline-induced mutations. 4-Methylquinoline (4-MeQ) has the highest mutagenicity among quinoline and isomeric methylquinolines according to the Ames test using Salmonella typhimurium TA 100, in the...
