The exfoliated cell micronucleus (MN) assay using fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with a centromeric probe is a rapid method for determining the mechanism of MN formation in epithelial tissues exposed to carcinogenic agents. Here, we describe the use of this assay to detect the presence or
## Abstract Surface water disinfection can lead to the formation of mutagenic/carcinogenic byβproducts derived from reactions with naturally occurring inorganic compounds. We investigated the feasibility and potential usefulness of an integrated approach to genotoxicity analysis of drinking water.
Paclitaxel is a recent chemotherapeutic agent that inhibits tubulin depolymerization in tumoral cells. Despite its increasing use against various human cancers, the genotoxicity of paclitaxel has never been studied on normal human cells. The in vitro genotoxic effects of the drug were evaluated with
