Immunocytological detection of AAF-DNA adducts in HeLa cell nuclei
Cancer Letters
|November 1, 1981
Abstract:
Acetylaminofluorene-DNA adducts (AAF-DNA) were detected in the nuclei of HeLa cells exposed to N-acetoxy-2-acetylaminofluorene (N-Ac-AAF), using an immunocytological technique and specific antibodies directed against AAF modified DNA. The proportion of cells exhibiting specific nuclear immunoreactivity was dose-dependent. The time course of disappearance of adduct specific nuclear immunoreactivity was compared with removal of N-(deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-2-acetylaminofluorene (dG-C8-AAF) and other adducts.
