Abstract excerpt
The human carcinogen, arsenic, is genotoxic to mammalian cells in vitro. The mechanism is largely unknown, although the involvement of free radicals has been suggested. Since the X-ray sensitive Chinese hamster ovary cell line, XRS-5, is also sensitive to several free-radical generating agents, including H2O2, we have used this cell line to test whether the genotoxic effect of arsenite is mediated via the...
