Abstract excerpt
The mutagenicity of urine from rats treated topically on the skin with 1,3-diaminobenzene was studied by the Salmonella/mammalian-microsome assay. Urine samples were either passed directly through micropore filters or extracts were prepared using XAD-2 resin before testing in the frameshift strain TA98. Significant mutagenic activity was found only after metabolic activation with rat-liver microsomes. The...
