Benzopyrene Monoclonal Antibody (BAP-13), Invitrogen™

Description

• This antibody recognizes polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons
• It has been shown to inhibit DNA adduct formation; this ability was investigated in rat liver microsomes spiked with calf thymus DNA and 7,8-diol-B[a]P)
• Benzo[a]pyrene, also known as 3, 4-Benzopyrene or 3, 4-BP, is classified as a member of the Benzopyrenes
• Benzopyrenes are organic compounds containing a benzene fused to a pyrene(benzo[def]phenanthrene) ring system
• Benzo[a]pyrene is formally rated as a carcinogenic (IARC 1) potentially toxic compound
• 3 4-Benzpyrene is a crystalline, aromatic hydrocarbon consisting of five fused benzene rings and formed during the incomplete combustion of organic matter
• 3, 4-Benzpyrene is primarily found in gasoline and diesel exhaust, cigarette smoke, coal tar and coal tar pitch, charcoal-broiled foods and certain other foods, amino acids, fatty acids and carbohydrate pyrolysis products, soot smoke, creosote oil, petroleum asphalt and shale oils
• This substance is used only for research purposes
• 3, 4-Benzpyrene is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen
