ACCELERATED PAPER: Mutational spectra of the dietary carcinogen 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) at the Chinese hamster hprt locus
1 Jan 1996
Abstract excerpt
The mutagenic 'fingerprint' of the cooked food carcinogen 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) was determined in a Chinese hamster cell line genetically engineered to express human CYP1A2 (XEMh1A2-MZ). The parental Chinese hamster V79 and XEMh1A2-MZ cells were exposed to PhIP at various concentrations for 24h. There was a dose-dependent increase in frequency of mutations at the...
