Table 1. The BPDE-like DNA adduct levels in pterygium analyzed by immunohistochemistry.



Parameter		 BPDE-like

adducts

%
- 69 67.0
+ 8 7.8
++ 12 11.6
+++ 14 13.6

The results were evaluated independently by three observers and scored for the percentage of positive nuclei: score -, no positive staining; score +, from 1% to 10%; score ++, from 11% - 50%; score +++, more than 50% positive cells. BPDE DNA adducts analyzed in this study are based on prior pterygium samples [25].
