Complexing of 3,4-benzpyrene (BP) with a series of nucleosides, 5 '-nucleotides, native and denatured deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), calf thymus nucleohistone, synthetic polyribonucleotides, and yeast ribonucleic acid (RNA) has been investigated using radiochemical assay methods. Physical binding to the polynucleotides and nucleohistone has been demonstrated by sucrose gradient electrophoresis and ultracentrifugation.
Increasing number of CCC/sample correlates with the adverse outcome and poorer survival (P < 0.0001). Our CCC test based on the negative selection procedure may provide valuable prognostic information.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
