Blood samples were obtained from different populations exposed occupationally or by lifestyle habits to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). DNA adducts were determined by 32P-postlabeling assay either in white blood cells (WBC) or lymphocytes. The level of DNA adducts ranged from 1.5 per 10(9) nucleotides in one of the control groups up to 7.1 per 10(9) nucleotides in one group of PAH-exposed workers. Comparison of the adduct thin layer chromatography (TLC) profiles revealed individual variation in both pattern and level of DNA adducts. Significant differences of adduct levels were detected between one group of PAH-exposed coke-oven workers and the corresponding control group. Only a weak influence of the smoking habits on the amount of adducts was detectable in occupationally exposed or unexposed individuals.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
