The Comet assay is a rapid and sensitive method for analyzing single cells for DNA damage. Using human lymphocytes, the assay is particularly useful for human monitoring studies, as well as for in vitro genotoxicity testing of chemicals. In such studies, it is not always possible to collect and proc

In previous studies, N-(N'-acetyl-L-propyl)-N-nitrosoglycine (APNG) has been shown to be a potent mutagen in a variety of genotoxicity assays and a carcinogen in a limited cancer study. APNG decomposes to a carboxymethyldiazonium ion, which can also be generated from potassium diazoacetate (KDA). KD
The flavonoids silymarin, myricetin, quercetin, kaempferol, rutin, and kaempferol-3-rutinoside have been examined in combination with the food mutagens 3-amino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido (4,3-b)indole (Trp) and 2-amino-3-methylimidazo-4,5-f)quinoline (IQ) in the Comet assay in human lymphocytes from donors
Eight phthalate esters, with alcohol chain lengths of 1-11 carbon atoms and with various degrees of branching, were tested in vitro in the L5178Y mouse lymphoma mammalian cell mutation assay and in the Balb/3T3 cell transformation assay. The tests were performed as part of a voluntary testing agreem
The skin tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) is a potent inhibitor of gap junctional intercellular communication. In the present study, the inhibition of cell-cell communication by TPA has been investigated in primary bone cells from newborn rat calvaria, with an emphasis on th
