Abstract excerpt
The mutagenicity of 2-acetylaminofluorene (AAF) in S. typhimurium TA 1538 was investigated using Ames' test and activation systems based upon rat- or cotton rat-liver post-mitochondrial supernatant (S9) fractions. Part of this study involved sub-fractionation of S9 into microsomes (M) and 100,000 X g supernatant (S100) fractions. With a rat liver-derived fractions, mos activity was associated with S100;...
