Abstract excerpt
1,N6-Ethenodeoxyadenosine (epsilon dA) is one of four exocyclic DNA adducts produced by chloroethylene oxide and chloroacetaldehyde, reactive metabolites of vinyl chloride, a human carcinogen. epsilon dA has also been detected in DNA of the liver of humans and untreated animals, suggesting its formation from endogenous sources. The mutagenic potential of epsilon dA was studied using a single-stranded shuttle...
