Abstract excerpt
The mutagenicity of peroxyl radicals, important participants in lipid peroxidation cascades, was investigated using a plasmid-based mutational assay system. Double-stranded pSP189 plasmids were incubated with a range of concentrations of the water-soluble peroxyl radical generator 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) hydrochloride (AAPH). Following replication in human Ad293 cells, the plasmids were screened for supF...
