β¦ Synopsis
Exposure of hamster embryo cells (HEC
) to mixtures of benzo(a) pyrene and soluble Ni2' neutral salts elicits additive responses in the enhanced nucleoside excretion assay. Ni2+ shows no significant excretion response until concentrations near 10 ~L M are reached. Addition of 0.4 micromolar benzo(a)pyrene and 30 p ~, or 325 p~ Ni2+ to HEC cultures results in total excretion equal to the sum of excretions induced by the individual chemicals. These observations suggest that excretion of pyrimidines may be a useful measure of biological dosimetry.
