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 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
