## Abstract We demonstrate in cell culture that mammary epithelial cells from normal human breast specimens metabolize benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) and form adducts with the bases of their DNA more readily and at lower concentrations of BaP than do fibroblasts from the same specimens. BaP metabolism and ad
Formation of DNA adducts and of water-soluble metabolites was studied in monocytes of 86 first-degree relatives of I 5 families. Tests were performed with blood monocytes using (G-3H)-benzo[a]pyrene as a model pro-carcinogen. Variance analysis revealed significantly higher inter-familial than intra-
DNA adducts are mainly detected by 32 P-postlabeling and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. We have established a method for detection of benzo[a]pyrene-diol-epoxide (BPDE)-DNA adducts by flow cytometry, and have clarified the effects of the DNA adducts on cell-cycle progression and the relationshi
