A great deal of effort has gone into research on the mechanisms of action of chemical carcinogens. The action of the host on the carcinogen represents one approach--to determine what metabolic products may be involved. Study of the action of the carcinogen on the host requires a thorough comparison

## Abstract A free radical was produced enzymatically by incubating benzo(a)pyrene with liver microsomes. This radical, identified as the 6βoxybenzo(a) pyrene radical, was sufficiently reactive to bind covalently with nucleic acid bases. Similar reactive free radicals were produced enzymatically fr
## Abstract A transforming Nβ__ras__ allele was molecularly cloned from the RD human rhabdomyosarcoma cell line, and the nature of its activation studied. Construction of chimeric recombinants between the RDβtransforming allele and a normal human allele enabled us to localize the alteration respons
The effect of insulin-dependent diabetes on the hepatic microsomal activation of chemical carcinogens to mutagenic intermediates in the Ames test was investigated in rats pretreated with streptozotocin. In order to discern between the effects of streptozotocin itself and that of the resulting diabet
