Human lymphocytes from a cell culture were irradiated with laser pulses of an Xe-Cl excimer laser (308 nm) or a dye laser at wavelengths from 312 to 640 nm. After conversion of photoinduced DNA damage into DNA strand breaks the "comet assay" (single-cell gel electrophoresis) was used to determine th

The single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) assay, or comet assay, is a highly sensitive method to measure DNA damage. The principle of the assay is based on the conversion of single-strand breaks and alkali-labile sites to double-strand breaks via alkaline lysis. The cells are subjected to electroph
The use of single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) has recently been applied to plant systems. We optimized the experimental conditions for SCGE analysis using nuclei isolated from different tissues of intact plants. Concentration-response curves of genomic DNA migration were analyzed in intact plant
## Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of isothiocyanates towards Nโnitrosamineโinduced DNA damage in the singleโcell gel electrophoresis (SCGE)/HepG2 assay. None of the isothiocyanates (ITCs) concentrations tested in the presence or absence of formamidopyrimidin

The analysis of the genotoxicity of praziquantel, an effective antihelminthic widely used in countries where parasitic infections are still serious public health problems, has been extensively performed using diverse in vitro and in vivo assays and endpoints. However, results are not conclusive, sin
