Comparative pulmonary carcinogenicity of inhaled beryllium A/J and C3H/HeJ mice
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:54807
The purpose of these investigations was to compare the pulomonary carcinogenicity of beryllium (Be) metal in A/J and C3H/HeJ mice, strains which are sensitive and resistant, respectively, to pulmonary neoplasia. Lesions in these mice will be used to study the molecular mechanisms of Be-induced carcinogenesis. Be, a metal that is generally negative in short-term genotoxicity assays, is a potent pulmonary carcinogen in F344/N rats. Although the epidemiological evidence is weak, Be is classified as a suspect human carcinogen.
