Abstract
Historically, mononuclear leukocytes (MNL) have been the principal cell source used for estimation of cancer risk in humans. Despite repeated demonstrations of effects from genotoxic exposures in vivo on MNL, evidenced by elevated levels of DNA damage (e.g., cytogenetic abnormalities, and DNA adducts, strand breaks and repair inhibition), it only recently has been appreciated what DNA damage does to the function of MNL (1,2). This is an important switch in emphasis, from one where MNL were viewed as a surrogate cell system, reflecting genetic factors or carcinogenic exposures present in epithelial cells (i.e., target cells for cancer), to one where MNL are viewed more as target cells for cancer development because of their role in the immune function (3).
