The number of sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) per metaphase was determined in normal human lymphocytes by the Hoechst-Giemsa procedure. UV C irradiation promotes SCE dose-dependent in the range of 0-40 mJ/cm2. No difference of this phenomenon may be observed, compairing young volunteers (20-40 year

This study examined the effect of pyrimethamine (PYR) on sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) in human lymphocytes. PYR is a folic acid antagonist used for the treatment of malaria and toxoplasmosis. PYR was added to peripheral blood lymphocyte cultures at three different doses: 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 mg/m
Sister chromatid exchange points (SCE points) on individual chromosomes were studied in cultured lymphocytes from 11 monozygotic (MZ) and nine dizygotic (DZ) same-sexed pairs by means of sequential Q-banding and BUdR-Giemsa techniques. No statistically significant variation between unrelated individ
