Oxidants produced by neutrophils have been implicated in causing cancers associated with chronic inflammation. Hypochlorous acid is the most potent oxidant produced by these cells in appreciable amounts. It reacts with amines to form chloramines, which are weaker oxidants but are mutagenic. Recently
Anchorage-independent growth, i.e., growth in semi-solid medium is considered a marker of cellular transformation of fibroblast cells. Diploid human fibroblasts ordinarily do not exhibit such growth but can grow transiently when medium contains high concentrations of fetal bovine serum. This suggest
