Abstract excerpt
2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), a heterocyclic aromatic amine that is formed in abundance in cooked meats, has been found to be mutagenic in human lymphoblastoid TK6 cells at the thymidine kinase and hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (hgprt) loci. The mutations induced at the hgprt locus have been analysed. Of the mutations that have been identified, 60% were found in the...
