Formation of DNA adducts and of water-soluble metabolites was studied in monocytes of 86 first-degree relatives of I 5 families. Tests were performed with blood monocytes using (G-3H)-benzo[a]pyrene as a model pro-carcinogen. Variance analysis revealed significantly higher inter-familial than intra-
## 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
## 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
