A non-invasive approach in immunopathological risk assessment was applied for analysis of the in vivo formation of DNA adducts. DNA methylation was studied in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) collected from Sprague-Dawley rats exposed to a single dose (75 mg/kg b.w.) of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). Three different techniques were applied for characterization and quantification of DNA adducts: (i) colloidal gold ultraimmunocytochemical localization of O6-methylguanosine (O6-meG)-DNA adducts, using affinity-purified, polyclonal antibody directed against O6-meG, (ii) quantitative assay using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), amplified by the avidin-biotin (AB) system, and (iii) high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The O6-meG-immunoreactive sites in PBLs seem to be concentrated in the nucleus. However, significant immunolabelling was also noted in the cytoplasm of the in vivo NDMA-exposed PBLs. Control preparations showed no specific gold immunolabelling. The O6-meG-DNA adduct formation in PBLs and hepatocytes, at 2-24 h following the exposure to NDMA, was analogous for both types of cells. The data showed high correlation for the ELISA and HPLC analytical methods. The data suggest an efficient O6-metG-DNA repair mechanism in lymphocytes, possibly analogous to the enzymatic repair of DNA adducts in liver cells.

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

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.
