Abstract excerpt
Genetic backcrosses of C57BL/6 and DBA/2 mice were used to examine the influence of maternal and fetal polymorphisms at the Ahr locus on susceptibility to transplacental carcinogenesis by 3-methylcholanthrene, 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene, and benzo[a]pyrene. (C57BL/6 x DBA/2) F1 mothers were backcrossed to DBA/2 males, and DBA/2 females to F1 males to produce both Ahr-responsive (Ah+) and nonresponsive (Ah-)...
