Abstract excerpt
Certain chromium (Cr) compounds are known to be carcinogenic in humans and mutagenic in cell culture. However, the mechanism of Cr mutagenesis is not well understood. It appears that intracellular reduction of Cr by agents such as glutathione plays a role in the induction of DNA damage. We have used a simian virus 40-based shuttle vector to investigate the relationship between chromium-induced DNA damage and Cr...
