Abstract excerpt
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is produced by species of Aspergillus, and is a known human carcinogen. AFB1-induced oxidative DNA damage, specifically 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) lesions, has been demonstrated in both animal models and in humans, and is repaired by base excision repair (BER). The tumour suppressor gene p53 is implicated in the regulation of DNA repair, and heterozygous p53 knockouts have an...
