Abstract excerpt
2-Amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ) is one of several heterocyclic amines formed during the cooking of proteinaceous foods. IQ is a potent carcinogen in rodent bioassays and causes a high incidence of hepatocellular carcinomas in nonhuman primates. We examined 20 hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) from nonhuman primates for mutations of the p53 gene using polymerase chain reaction-single strand...
