Abstract
C. B. Allsopp has found that photo-oxidation products of 3: 4-benzpyrene, which can be extracted with water or dilute alkali, possess characteristic absorption spectra. The unstable extracted material, which was shown by Schulman and Rideal to react strongly with protein monolayers, is found to produce a high percentage of abnormal mitotic cells in embryonic chick heart tissue cultures.
