Separation procedures capable of revealing DNA adducts.
Detection and quantification of DNA adducts are very important in relation to diseases such as cancer. Both high sensitivity and high selectivity are required for the detection of DNA adducts because the content of adducts in DNA is very small compared with those of normal bases and only small amounts of DNA samples are available for analysis in general cases. In this paper are described separation procedures such as liquid chromatography, gas chromatography and capillary electrophoresis combined with a detection and identification method such as 32P-postlabeling, mass spectrometry, electrochemical detection, fluorescence detection and immunoassay. The merits and demerits of the procedures are also discussed.
