Detection of DNA Adducts by 32P-Postlabeling and Multifraction Contact-Transfer Thin-Layer Chromatography
32P-Postlabeling is a sensitive method for detecting DNA adducts.
Large bulky adducts, particularly from polycyclic aromatic compounds,
are readily detected using this technique. Detection of small
modifications, such as methylations, has often required specific
additional enrichment procedures prior to
32P-postlabeling.
We report the use of a single analytical procedure that can
detect DNA adducts of a wide range of sizes and hydrophobicities
(exemplified by adducts produced with methyl methanesulfonate,
diepoxybutane, styrene oxide, or benzo[
a]- pyrene). This
32P-postlabeling/thin-layer
chromatography procedure is particularly useful when examining
the potential of novel compounds or their metabolites to form
DNA adducts.
