Testing chemical agents with the cytokinesis-block micronucleus cytome assay.
In order to evaluate the applicability of the cytokinesis-block micronucleus cytome assay in routine mutagenicity testing we investigated with this method different chemicals having different mechanisms of action: non-mutagens, direct-acting basealtering mutagens, direct-acting cross-linking mutagens, clastogens including a radiomimeti...
متن کاملUsing the cytokinesis-block micronucleus cytome assay to evaluate chromosomal DNA damage in chronic renal patients undergoing bicarbonate haemodialysis and haemodiafiltration
INTRODUCTION Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) patients are considered to show genomic instability and are associated with a high risk of both cardiovascular diseases and cancer. We explored DNA damage due to two dialysis treatments in 20 patients undergoing bicarbonate haemodialysis (BD), 20 undergoing haemodiafiltration (HDF) and 40 healthy subjects. METHODS The cytokinesis-block micronucleus (MN...
متن کاملAutomation of the cytokinesis-block micronucleus cytome assay by laser scanning cytometry and its potential application in radiation biodosimetry.
Here we describe the adaptation of laser scanning cytometry (LSC) to measure micronuclei (MN) automatically in lymphocytes. MN frequencies were determined in irradiated human lymphocytes using the cytokinesis-block technique, and the results from LSC were compared with visual scoring results obtained from slides of cells stained using Fast Green and 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). This fl...
متن کاملCytokinesis-blocked micronucleus cytome assay biomarkers identify lung cancer cases amongst smokers.
The multi-endpoint cytokinesis-blocked micronucleus assay is used for assessing chromosome aberrations. We have recently reported that this assay is extremely sensitive to genetic damage caused by the tobacco-specific nitrosamine 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) and that the binucleated cells with micronuclei, nucleoplasmic bridges, and nuclear buds in lymphocytes (chromosom...
متن کاملLaboratory intercomparison of the cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay.
The focus of the study is an intercomparison of laboratories' dose-assessment performances using the cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) assay as a diagnostic triage tool for individual radiation dose assessment. Homogenously X-irradiated (240 kVp, 1 Gy/min) blood samples for establishing calibration data (0.25-5 Gy) as well as blind samples (0.1-6.4 Gy) were sent to the participants. The CBM...
