## Abstract We demonstrate in cell culture that mammary epithelial cells from normal human breast specimens metabolize benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) and form adducts with the bases of their DNA more readily and at lower concentrations of BaP than do fibroblasts from the same specimens. BaP metabolism and ad
## Abstract Six strains of human epidermal keratinocytes were shown to be capable of metabolising benzo(a)pyrene (BP)for at least 40 population doublings in culture. Metabolism was independent of human or mouse fibroblast products, and also the growth rate of the epidermal cultures, at least when c
The involvement of cytochrome P-450 isozymes in the activation of benzo[a]pyrene (BP) by human placental and liver microsomes was studied in vitro using monoclonal antibodies (Mab) toward the major 3-methylcholanthrene (MC)-inducible and phenobarbital-inductible rat liver P-450 isozymes (Mab 1-7-1 a
