Abstract excerpt
Group-A xeroderma pigmentosum (XPA) gene-deficient mice are defective in nucleotide-excision repair and highly susceptible to ultraviolet-B-, and 9,10-dimethyl-1,2-benz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced skin carcinogenesis. In this study, changes of 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b] pyridine (PhIP)-DNA adduct formations in the liver, colon and lung, as assessed by the 32P-postlabeling method and...
