Title: Tests for induction of presumed dominant-lethal effects in female mice

Abstract

The two carcinogens, benzo(a)pyrene (BP), and 2-acetylaminofluorene (2AAF), and their respective noncarcinogenic analogs, pyrene (PYR) and 4-acetylaminofluorene (4AAF), were tested for induction of presumed dominant-lethal effects in female mice. Each chemical was administered as a single intraperitoneal injection using the maximum dose that could be given as limited either by toxicity or solubility. The study was conducted in at least two stocks of females and the induction of presumed dominant-lethal response was determined in oocytes in maturing follicles. Among the four compounds studied, only BP induced clear-cut presumed dominant-lethal effects. In addition, it had cytotoxic effects on the oocytes resulting in marked reduction in the reproductive performance of treated females. 11 refs., 1 fig., 4 tabs.
