Abstract

Mutations of p53 tumor suppressor gene have been associated with exposure to carcinogens. Cultured human breast epithelial cells (MCF10A) were treated with Benzo(a)pyrene(BaP) or N-Methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine(MNNG). MCF10A cells were grown in DMEM/F12 medium and trated for 6, 12, 24, 48 and 96h with Bap (1, 10 and 100 $\mu$M) dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide(DMSO). (omitted)
