ABSTRACT:
A unique, quick, inexpensive and highly accurate assay for detecting the presence of tumor promoters based on a measurable set of changes in amphibian oocytes in the presence of a tumor promoter. A secondary assay based on the protein released by the oocytes is employed to confirm the initial assay and quantify the potency of the tumor promoter present.
