Abstract excerpt
Immortalization is a prerequisite for the clonal evolution and malignant transformation of normal mammalian cells in culture. In order to gain a mechanistic insight into the genetics of carcinogen-induced cellular immortality, a cell culture assay has been developed based on the use of freshly explanted Syrian hamster dermal (SHD) fibroblasts. The relative efficacies of a variety of chemical and physical...
