Normal mouse embryo 3T3 cell cultures and those oncogenically transformed by the
chemical carcinogens benzo (a) pyrene and methylcholanthrene were analyzed by high
performance liquid chromatography to determine the 5-methylcytosine to cytosine base
ratios in their total genomic DNA. The DNA methylation levels appear to be approximately
equal in the three cell lines examined.
