Detection of damage-recognition proteins from human lymphocytes.

Detection of damage-recognition proteins from human lymphocytes.

Proteins recognizing and binding to damaged DNA (DDB-proteins) were analyzed in human lymphocytes obtained from healthy donors. Using an electrophoretic mobility shift assay several complexes between nuclear extract proteins and damaged DNA were detected: a complex specific for DNA damaged by N-acetoxy-N-acetylaminofluorene, another complex specific for UV-irradiated DNA, and two complexes spec...

Evaluating the effects of galbanic acid on hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative DNA damage in human lymphocytes

Objective: Ferula szowitsiana has been widely used for medicinal purposes around the world. The anti-oxidant effect of F.szowitsiana had been proved. The current study aims to determine the protective effects of galbanic acid, a sesquiterpene coumarin from F. szowitsiana, against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) - induced oxidative DNA damage in human lymphocytes. Materials and Methods: Human lymphocyt...

Chromosomal damage in human lymphocytes from radio-isotope therapy.

helicobacter pylori-induced genotoxic damage in human b lymphocytes

background helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) is recognized as the causative agent of peptic and duodenal ulcers, gastric adenocarcinoma, and low-grade mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (malt) lymphoma . in the present study, we investigate the genotoxic damage of lysates of h. pylori in human b lymphocytes. materials and methodsâ  human b lymphocytes were treated with 0, 10, 20, and 30 âµg/ l of ...

Radiation-induced chromosome damage in human lymphocytes.

Analysis for chromosome aberrations in human peripheral blood lymphocytes has been developed as an indicator of dose from ionising radiation. This paper outlines the mechanism of production of aberrations, the technique for their analysis and the dose-effect relationships for various types of radiation. During the past ten years the National Radiological Protection Board has developed a service...
