Polyclonal antibodies were developed in New Zealand White rabbits against DNA modified with diastereomeric benzo[c]phenanthrene-3,4-diol-1,2-epoxide (B[c]PhDE)-1 (4-hydroxyl and epoxide cis) and B[c]PhDE-2 (4-hydroxyl and epoxide trans). Antiserum developed against B[c]PhDE-2-DNA was stereoselective. In competitive ELISA assays using wells coated with 160 fmol B[c]PhDE-2-DNA adducts, B[c]PhDE-2-DNA gave 50% inhibition at 200 fmol adducts/well. B[c]PhDE-1-DNA required a 10-fold higher amount of adducts/well to give 50% inhibition. Benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide-2-DNA and 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-3,4-diol-1,2-epoxide-1-DNA caused only a 30% inhibition even at the highest doses tested (greater than 4000 fmol adducts/well). For antiserum developed against B[c]PhDE-1-DNA, 50% inhibition required 570 fmol B[c]PhDE-1-DNA adducts in wells coated with 100 fmol B[c]PhDE-1-DNA adducts. 7,12-Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-3,4-diol-1,2-epoxide-1-DNA and B[c]PhDE-2-DNA were also effective competitors: they caused 50% inhibition at 1900 and 1800 fmol adducts/well respectively. In contrast, benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide-2-DNA gave no inhibition at the highest dose of competitor tested (4050 fmol adducts/well). Antisera from three rabbits immunized with B[c]PhDE-2-DNA demonstrated similar antigen specificities. The properties of these antisera differ from those reported previously for antibodies developed against benzo[a]pyrene-DNA in that they show selectivity for DNA modified by specific hydrocarbon diolepoxides, in one case for B[c]PhDE-2-DNA and in the other for B[c]PhDE-DNA or 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-3,4-diol-1,2-epoxide-1-DNA. The specificity of these antisera will facilitate analysis of the modification of DNA by different polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon diolepoxides.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
