These genes are called tumor-suppressor genes (Klein 1988). The best studied example of a tumor suppressor gene is the retinoblastoma-predisposition gene, which plays a role in the development of both hereditary and sporadic retinoblastomas. Retinoblastoma tumors are characterized by the fact that both alleles of the so-called retinoblastoma gene are inactivated due to deletion or mutation. The presence of one intact allele of the gene is sufficient to prevent tumor formation, hence the name tumor-suppressor gene (Klein 1988, Ciba foundation symp.

More than ten heterocyclic amine compounds from pyrolysates of amino acids and proteins and from cooked fish and meat have been isolated and identified, as shown in Figs. , 1986). They are divided into IQ type and non-IQ type compounds. The IQ compounds were originally 46 2-Amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-flquinoline (10) 2-Amino-3,4,8-trimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (4,8-DiMeIOx) Fig.
A wide variety of test systems developed during the last 20 years -- ranging from bacteria, mammalian, including human cells in culture, to whole mammals -- is now available to examine the "mutagenic potential" of different chemicals, but they are only suitable for qualitative estimations of the level of cancer risk resulting from exposure of man to such agents (Lohman et ai. 1985). Agents that are capable of damaging the DNA are called "genotoxic" and a general characteristic of these is their electrophilic reactivity towards DNA and other cellular macromolecules.
