摘要: Abstract In lung and liver cancers, p53 mutations are mostly G:C to T:A transversions. This type of mutation is known be induced by benzo( a )pyrene aflatoxin B 1 which associated with the etiology respectively. Using novel assay based on DNA polymerase fingerprint analysis, we identified nucleotides targeted these carcinogens. Thirteen 14 nucleotide residues gene underwent in cancers were )pyrene. Similarly, formed adducts at mutational hotspot specific for cancer. The same (third base codon 249), mutates rarely was not target These vitro observations indicate that hotspots different tumors selected targets specifically etiologically defined environmental
