Comparison of the Mutagenic Responses of Lung-Derived and Skin-Derived Human Diploid Fibroblast Populations

  • Chapter
Chemical Mutagens

Abstract

We have established a series of pairs of lung- and skin-derived fibroblast cultures from human embryonic tissues. Each pair of skin and lung populations was established simultaneously from the same individual using carefully controlled, identical conditions. These paired populations provide a unique opportunity to study differences between normal diploid fibroblast populations from skin and lung without the confusion of genetic differences between donors. They also permit the study of differences among individuals without the confusion of variables such as different ages of donors, different biopsy sites, different conditions for initiating cell populations, and different cell population doubling levels. Our goals have been (1) to analyze the variance in cell killing and mutability among normal individuals in the human population and (2) to analyze the variance in mutability between fibroblast cultures derived from two different human tissues.
