Sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) are induced in cultured Chinese hamster cells by treatment with 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) or with Hoechst 33258 (H33258) plus BrdU. The SCE frequencies depend upon the number of H33258 molecules available per cell (or per base pair) and the number of brdU molecules

β¦ Synopsis
The effect of different BrdU-concentrations on the cysteamine-induced SCE-rate was investigated in V-79 Chinese hamster cell monolayer cultures. Both cysteamine and its auto-oxidation product cystamine act synergistically with BrdU in the induction of SCEs. A given concentration of these substances produces a low SCE-frequency at low BrdU-concentrations -- but the incidence of SCEs is significantly increased at increased BrdU-concentrations. -- Using one-cycle substitution experiments and the determination of the relative level of substitution by means of 3HBrdU-incorporation, this synergism was shown to depend on the BrdU incorporated in the DNA and on the extent to which this incorporation takes place.
