Abstract excerpt
We have characterized the mutational spectrum of 6-nitrosochrysene in the hprt gene of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) cells and also examined the adducts formed by this compound in CHO-K1 cells by quantitative 32P-postlabeling analysis. Seventy percent of the identified mutations were simple basepair substitutions, and they occurred more often at A:T (14/17) than at G:C. Furthermore, 13 of the basepair...
