Cisplatin adducts are Guanine-Guanine (GG) DNA intrastrand cross links caused by the chemical compound Cisplatin. Cisplatin is used as a chemotherapy agent that contains platinum. The crosslinking of the DNA triggers apoptosis in the effected cell. Cisplatin is particularly effective in certain cancers such as testicular cancer. Unfortunately like most chemotherapy agents Cisplatin has many side effects and cancer cells typically will develop resistance to the drug after a period of time. Clone ICR4 was formerly known as clone CP9/19.

This antibody demonstrates specificity for cisplatin modified DNA.

Cisplatin modified native DNA.
