Abstract excerpt
Levels of DNA adducts vary greatly in vivo, attributable to individual differences in enzymatic bioactivation of benzo(a)pyrene. We developed an assay to measure the levels of DNA adducts induced in vitro by benzo(a)pyrene diol epoxide (BPDE), a bioactivated form of benzo(a)pyrene. In this large...
