摘要
The frequency with which diethylstilbestrol induces neoplastic transformation and somatic mutation was measured concomitantly in Syrian hamster embryo cells. While diethylstilbestrol was as active as benzo[a]pyrene in inducing transformation, it failed to induce mutations at 2 conventionally studied loci. Diethylstilbestrol may transform cells in the absence of gene mutations.
