Transformation Assay of Established Cell Lines: Mechanisms and Application (Iarc Scientific Publication) - Hardcover

This volume is a "state-of-the-art" discussion of cell transformation and its unique position among carcinogen tests. The contributors show how this assay, which may be able to detect both genetic and non-genetic chemical activity, might be used to identify a wide range of carcinogens and represents a good model for studying molecular and cellular mechanisms of carcinogenesis. Bound to play an important role in promoting international coordination in the use of cell transformation, this book will be of great interest to all oncologists and pathologists.
