Abstract excerpt
The potential relationship between mutagenesis and carcinogenesis has been examined in the Nagase analbuminemic rat treated with a single dose of benzo[a]pyrene, an incomplete liver carcinogen. The apparent mutation rate at the albumin locus was calculated by determining the number of hepatocytes expressing a cross-reactive product of albumin in analbuminemic rats treated with benzo[a]pyrene. The rate of...
