Abstract
Aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) inducibility was studied in cultured lymphocytes from 21 healthy control subjects and from 15 lung cancer patients selected for radiation therapy. AHH inducibility of the patients was measured prior to, during and at the end of radiation therapy. Four of 15 patients had high AHH inducibility. The remaining 11 patients had values comparable to the healthy controls. Cellular DNA and protein measurements of cultured lymphocytes were the same for patients and healthy controls. There was no significant difference in the percentage of lymphoblast formation and percentage of cell survival between the two groups. Radiation therapy reduces the number of lymphocytes in vivo and the amount of lymphoblast formation in vitro. AHH inducibility is significantly lowered by radiation in the patients who had very high inducibility at preβtreatment level. DNA and protein contents of cultured lymphocytes did not change during radiation therapy.

## Abstract We investigated the possible influence of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) on susceptibility to bladder cancer in humans. AHH inducibility was measured in the cultured lymphocytes of 16 patients who were being followed after successful treatment for bladder cancer, in 53 progeny of bl
The inducibility of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) activity in peripheral mitogen-treated lymphocytes, and of AHH and other monoxygenase activities in lung samples, was studied in 41 patients-34 with pulmonary carcinoma, 4 with a benign lung tumour and 3 with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseas
## Abstract To test whether the distribution of AHH inducibility is shifted toward the high end of the range in patients who had lung and laryngeal cancer, we measured this trait in 59 patients (32 lung and 27 laryngeal) who had resectable tumors and had been diseaseβfree for a period of time. The
