title: Detection of urinary metabolites of 2-acetylaminofluorene by cultured hamster embryo cells and high performance liquid chromatography.
abstract: Urine was collected from Sprague-Dawley rats injected intraperitoneally with a suspension of 2-acetylaminofluorene (AAF) or with an inert suspension vehicle. Morphological transformation was observed in clonal cultures of secondary passage hamster embryo cells (HEC) after the addition of AAF-treated rat urine or concentrated urine extracts prepared by incubating the urine with beta-glucuronidase. No morphological alteration was observed in cultures treated with urine (or urine extracts) from rats injected with the suspension vehicle alone. The presence of N-hydroxy- and ring-hydroxylated metabolites of AAF in the AAF-treated concentrated urine extract was confirmed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
