"[To provide a better understanding of the mutagenic mechanisms involved in interspecies differences in BD-induced carcinogenesis, studies were conducted in rodents to test two hypotheses: (a) the mutagenic potency of BD at the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (hprt) locus of T lymphocytes (T cells) can be used to quantify interspecies differences in BD-induced carcinogenicity in exposed rodents and (b) comparison of the mutagenic potency and specificity of BD and racemic mixtures of two epoxy metabolites, 1,2-epoxy-3-butene (BDO) and 1,2,3,4-diepoxybutane (BDO2), at the hprt locus of T cells can be used to define the relative contribution of each intermediate to observed BD mutagenicity in each species.].
