Toxic effects of ozone on murine L929 fibroblasts. Damage to DNA
Damage to DNA caused by exposure of L929 fibroblasts to ozone was reflected by the generation of strand breaks, DNA inter-strand cross-links and DNA-protein cross-links. Addition of propan-2-ol, a hydroxyl radical scavenger, did not affect the formation of strand breaks. In model experiments it appe...

Summary: | Damage to DNA caused by exposure of L929 fibroblasts to ozone was reflected by the generation of strand breaks, DNA inter-strand cross-links and DNA-protein cross-links. Addition of propan-2-ol, a hydroxyl radical scavenger, did not affect the formation of strand breaks. In model experiments it appeared that both purines and pyrimidines were involved in DNA inter-strand and DNA-protein cross-links. |
