Abstract
The effect of aphidicolin on the repair of chemically induced DNA damage in rat hepatocytes was examined. Alkaline elution analysis of DNA damage and autoradiographic examination of unscheduled DNA synthesis both indicate that the repair of DNA damage was inhibited by aphidicolin. Because aphidicolin has been shown to be a specific inhibitor of alpha polymerase, these results suggest that the alpha polymerase plays an active role in the repair of rat hepatocyte DNA.
