## Abstract Metabolites of the human carcinogen 4‐aminobiphenyl (4‐ABP) form hemoglobin (Hb) adducts, which represent a useful biomarker for exposure. However, not every individual responds to a similar degree to 4‐ABP exposure, and variations in 4‐ABP‐Hb adduct formation might be explained by gene

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
A human lymphoblastoid cell line stably expressing a human cytochrome P4501A2 cDNA was developed. This
recombinant cell line displayed P4501A2 protein and estradiol2‐hydroxylase activity, neither of which was detected
in the parental cell line. The recombinant cell line was also approximately 1000‐fold more sensitive t o the cyto‐
toxicity and mutagenicity of the carcinogenic mycotoxin aflatoxin B1 than was the parent cell line. The increase
in mutagenicity was supported by a corresponding increase in the level of aflatoxin B1 binding t o DNA in cells
expressing P4501A2 relative to control cells.
