Abstract excerpt
Treatment of B6C3F1 mice with concentrations of 62.5-625 p.p.m. 1,3-butadiene by inhalation for up to 2 years causes a significantly increased incidence of Harderian gland (HG) neoplasms over untreated controls (Melnick,R., Huff,J., Chou,B.J. and Miller,R.A. Cancer Res., 50, 6592-6599, 1990). Since a specific K-ras mutation (codon 13 GGC-->CGC) had previously been described in lung and liver tumors from...
