Abstract excerpt
Vinyl chloride, a hepatocarcinogen in humans and rodents, can form promutagenic etheno bases in DNA after metabolic activation. The formation of 1,N6-ethenoadenine (epsilon A) and 3,N4-ethenocytosine (epsilon C) was measured in adult Sprague-Dawley rats by immunoaffinity purification and 32P-postlabelling. A highly variable background was found in all tissues from untreated animals: the mean molar ratios of...
