DNA lesions, inducible DNA repair, and cell division: three key factors in mutagenesis and carcinogenesis.

DNA lesions that escape repair have a certain probability of giving rise to mutations when the cell divides. Endogenous DNA damage is high: 10(6) oxidative lesions are present per rat cell. An exogenous mutagen produces an increment in lesions over the background rate of endogenous lesions. The effe...
