Abstrakt: The covalent binding of [14C]acetylaminofluorene (AAF) to macromolecules in vivo and in vitro was measured in Schistosoma mansoni-infected and in non-infected mice. Liver microsomes from infected mice demonstrated a 42% decreased capacity to mediate covalent binding of AAF to DNA. In addition, the extent of binding of AAF to liver macromolecules in vivo was generally less in infected than non-infected mice.
