Quantities of mouse tissues needed to DNA adduct analysis

Organ	Wet weight yielding 100 μg DNA (mg)	Notes
Spleen	100	Pool spleens from control mice when spleen weighs <100 mg
Liver	50	Prone to RNA contamination; minimized by doubling amount of RNAse during DNA isolation
Kidney	100	Longer homogenization may be required to obtain high yields
Colon	50
Lung	100
