Abstract excerpt
2-Amino-3,4-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (MeIQ), a food mutagen, induces forestomach tumors in CDF1 mice. We established a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis system to detect mutations in the mouse p53 gene exons 2-10, which encompass all five regions conserved among species, and a system to examine loss of heterozygosity (LOH) that uses newly identified...
