## Abstract The metabolism of tritiated benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) by primary mouse embryo cells in culture was studied. At concentrations of B[a]P in the medium below about 2–3 mμ moles/ml, metabolism was exponential with time, but at higher concentrations a period of rapid metabolism was followed by

Abstract
The DNA of mouse embryo cells was specifically labelled in the purine moieties with (G^3^H)‐deoxyadenosine or in the cytosine moieties with (5^3^H)‐deoxycytidine. These cells were then treated with 7‐methylbenz (a) anthracene (7MBA) or benzo (a)‐pyrene (B(a)P) and the DNA isolated, degraded and fractionated by LH20 Sephadex column chromatography. When the purines of the DNA were tritium‐labelled, radioactive hydrocarbondeoxyribonucleoside products were obtained. No such products were found with deoxycytidine pre‐labelled DNA. Contrary to an earlier suggestion, these results indicate that it is the purine moieties of DNA which react with the metabolically activated hydrocarbon derivative in vivo.
