Adduct-specific monoclonal antibodies for the measurement of cisplatin-induced DNA lesions in individual cell nuclei

Abstract excerpt

The anticancer drug cisplatin executes its cytotoxic activity via formation of intra- and interstrand crosslinks in DNA. The relative contribution of structurally defined cisplatin adducts to induce apoptosis and the cellular processing of these lesions is still poorly understood mostly due to the lack of sensitive analytical tools for in vivo studies. Here we describe a new method to establish and characterize...
