Benzidine (4,4′-Diaminobiphenyl) is an environmental genotoxin that posses increased risks of cancer to exposed people. Benzidine may be used as a reference material in procedures that analyze for benzidine. Benzidine can be used in studies on its mechanisms of genotoxicity.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Tumor initiator in mammalian liver and urinary bladder.
Packaging
Packaged in a 100 mL serum bottle with butyl rubber stopper and aluminum tear seal.
Caution
OSHA′s Safety and Health Standard 29 CFR 1910 does not apply to a solution or mixture containing less than 0.1%. Injecting a compatible solvent permits preparation of any desired strength solution without exposure to benzidine.
Reconstitution
Dissolving the contents in 100 mL of solvent yields a 0.1% solution.

Despite the significant role of S-ribosylhomocysteinase (LuxS) in the activated methyl cycle pathway and quorum sensing, the connectivity between luxS and other cellular functions remains incomplete. Herein, we show that luxS deletion significantly increases swimming motility and flagella synthesis in
Fingermarks formed in or by blood often require specific development techniques. This review examines techniques and materials that may be used to enhance and record fingermarks deposited in blood or fingermarks generated by blood-contaminated papillary ridges. A large number of
Strongyloidiasis is a persistent human parasitic infection caused by the intestinal nematode, Strongyloides stercoralis. The parasite has a world-wide distribution, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions with poor sanitary conditions. Since individuals with strongyloidiasis are typically asymptomatic, the infection can
Benzidine oxidative activation may proceed by peroxidase-catalyzed one-electron oxidation via free radical intermediates, or by N-acetylation followed by monooxygenase-catalyzed N-hydroxylation. The peroxidase route has been examined by using horseradish peroxidase or prostaglandin H synthase in vitro. In the presence of
Benzidine, an odorless, white to slightly reddish-white crystalline organic compound, is an environmental contaminant that has been identified at about 30 National Priorities List (NPL) hazardous waste sites in the United States. In the environment, it is usually found attached
Cancer research has revealed that the classical model of carcinogenesis, a three step process consisting of initiation, promotion, and progression, is not complete.
