Benzo[a]pyrenediol-epoxide (BPDE), a metabolite of the ubiquitous environmental carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), has been implicated as a point mutagen. However, as mutational events other than point mutations are also often associated with cancer, we have investigated whether BPDE can induce other classes of mutation. This was done by analyzing mutation at the aprt and hprt loci, both in hemizygous (D422) and...
