A cell transformation assay may be an in vitro assay measuring the phenotypic conversion from normal to malignant characteristics in Balb/c 3T3 cells exposed to test chemicals, and capable of detecting carcinogens. In this article, the progress and improvement of Balb/c 3T3 cells transformation assay, and its applications in the detection of tumor initiator and promoter were reviewed.
细胞转化试验可能是一种体外试验,用于测量暴露于受试化学物质的Balb/c 3T3细胞从正常特征到恶性特征的表型转化,并能够检测致癌物。本文综述了Balb/c 3T3细胞转化试验的进展与改进及其在肿瘤启动剂和促进剂检测中的应用。
