Abstract
Epstein-Barr-virus-transformed peripheral-blood B-lymphocytes were gamma-irradiated at 0 degree C at doses from 10 to 100 Gy. The cells were immediately lysed and the DNA was isolated. Subsequently, the DNA was hydrolysed to 2'-deoxyribonucleosides with a mixture of DNAase I, venom and spleen exonucleases and alkaline phosphatase. The hydrolysate was dried, trimethylsilylated and analysed by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with selected-ion monitoring. The (5'R)- and (5'S)-diastereomers of 8,5'-cyclo-2'-deoxyguanosine were observed in a ratio of 1:3, and their formation was dose-dependent. It was possible to detect and characterize one such lesion in approx. 4 X 10(4) guanine nucleotide subunits of DNA.Entities:
