If I understand this right - the human - transformed cells were transplanted 
to the nude mice (which have a lowered transplant rejection tendency). I 
wonder how it is known that the transplanted cells were transformed because 
of the alphas (and not because of chemical genotoxic effects). Please help 
me to have this clarified or correct me if this is a misinterpretation. I 
don't have immediate access to the original report (Environmental Health 
Perspectives, Vol. 106, August 1998).
