Abstract excerpt
Formaldehyde (FA) is known to be a genotoxic substance. FA induces DNA-protein crosslinks (DPC) as the primary DNA lesion. However, the significance of DPC for FA-induced mutations and the mechanism(s) of mutation formation are at present poorly understood. Our previous results indicated that FA-induced DPC seem to be related to cytotoxicity and clastogenicity but do not lead to gene mutations in mammalian cells....
