Notes:
Summary Arylhydrocarbons are inducers of monooxygenase activity in epithelial cells in culture (Hela) whereas diterpene esters are not. This is one more example of a specific biochemical difference — here in gene activation — exhibited by tumor initiators and tumor promoters of the classes of compounds assayed.
