## Abstract The mutational specificity of the cyclic nitrosamine __N__βnitrosopyrrolidine (NPYR) was determined through the DNA sequence characterization of 33 __lacl__^βd^ mutations of __Escherichia coli.__ Base substitution was the predominant class of mutation induced (91%). The majority of thes

The use of transgenic rodents for the study of genetic toxicology has increased dramatically in the past several years. A great deal of the recent work has employed the lac/ locus in transgenic mice. In addition to the transgenic data, a substantial amount of information exists regarding mutation of
## Abstract To investigate the influence of different types of metabolic activation (9,000 x __g__ supernatant (S9) activation vs. a hostβmediated approach) on 4β(methylnitrosamino)β1β(3βpyridyl)β1βbutanone (NNK)βinduced mutational specificity, we determined by DNA sequencing the distribution of fo
Forward mutations induced by 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-1-nitrosourea (CCNU) in the supF gene of Escherichia coli were recovered from bacteria deficient in nucleotide excision repair and in DNA-alkyltransferase activity. Bacteria were exposed to 0.4 mM CCNU (in vivo supF mutagenesis), increasing
