Abstract excerpt
Styrene-7,8-oxide (SO), the mutagenic in vivo metabolite of the widely used chemical monomer styrene, has been classified as a probable human carcinogen (IARC, 1994). We examined mutations in the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (hprt) gene of primary human T-lymphocytes exposed to 0.2 mM SO for 6 days in vitro. PCR amplification and direct DNA sequencing were used to identify 55 SO-induced...
