title: The binding of benzo[a]pyrene to mouse and rat skin DNA.
abstract: The covalently bound products of[3H]benzo[a]pyrene (BP) were determined in the DNA from the skin of mice and rats. While the total binding to DNA of rat skin is 3 times less than the DNA of mouse skin, the quality and the distribution of bound products was similar. The formation of (7R)-N2-[10-(7beta, 8alpha, 9alpha-trihydroxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene)yl] deoxyadenosine ((7R)BPDE I-dA) adduct was found.
