[Interaction of p-Dimethylaminoazobenzene with rat liver-chromatin and non-histones (author's transl)]. 1978

J So-nenbichler, and F Reichhart

The carcinogenic p-Dimethylaminoazobenzene and the non-carcinogenic p-aminoazobenzene were radioactive labelled and applicated to Whistar rats intraperitoneally. A very significant difference in binding tendencies for the two compounds and their metabolites was observed in rat liver tissues, rat liver nuclei and rat liver chromatin. Above all a specific binding affinity of the carcinogen to nuclear non-histone protein was found.
