Abstract excerpt
p-Aminophenol (PAP), a metabolite of aniline and acetaminophen, has been reported to be mutagenic in the L5178Y mouse lymphoma assay, but not in the CHO/HGPRT assay. In the present study, the effects of PAP in these two cells lines were examined to determine if the difference in activity is related to an intrinsic difference in the cell lines. CHO and L5178Y tk +/- mouse lymphoma cells were treated with PAP for 4...
