Abstract excerpt
Ionizing radiations often induce multiple and clustered DNA lesions at the site of DNA interaction. As a model, we have studied the toxicity and the mutagenicity of two adjacent oxidative bases as clustered DNA lesions in mammalian cells using shuttle vectors. The chosen oxidative lesions were 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine, the formylamine residue resulting from the oxidation of a pyrimidine base and the tandem lesion...
