Abstract

Human cytochrome B5 (CYB5) was coexpressed with cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2), NADPH-CYP450 reductase (CYPR) and Ν-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The expression of four proteins was determined by Western blot analyses. The introduction of cDNAs to CHO cells were transduced via retroviral vectors. The cytotoxicity assay of 2-aminoanthracene (2-AA) and aflatoxin B$_1$were approximately 4-fold more sensitive than CYB5 free cells.(omitted)
