title: The effect of non-phorbol promoters as compared with phorbol myristate acetate on sister chromatid exchange induction in cultured Chinese hamster cells.
abstract: The effect of 5 unrelated chemicals with different promoting potencies on sister chromatid exchange (SCE) induction in V79 cells was investigated. Two powerful promoters--12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and anthralin; a moderate promoter--iodoacetic acid (IAA); two weak promoters--ethyl phenylpropiolate (EPP) and cantharidin--all induced similar and low numbers of SCE. These results do not support the hypothesis that enhanced mitotic recombination is responsible for tumour promotion.
