Micronucleus assay of human lymphocytes: a comparison of cytokinesis-block and human capillary blood lymphocytes methods.
Micronucleus (MN) expression in Peripheral blood lymphocytes is well established as a method to monitor chromosome damage in human populations. The use of MN as a measure of chromosome damage in peripheral blood lymphocytes was first proposed by Countryman and Heddle and subsequently improved with the development of the cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) method, which has been extensively us...
متن کاملRadioprotective effects of selenium and vitamin-E against 6MV X-rays in human blood lymphocytes by micronucleus assay
Background: Critical macromolecules of cells such as DNA are in exposure to damage of free radicals that induced from the interaction of ionizing radiation with biological systems. Selenium and vitamin-E are natural compounds that have been shown to be a direct free radical scavenger. The aim of this study was to investigate the radioprotective effect of selenium and vitamin-E separately and sy...

متن کاملRadioresponse of human lymphocytes pretreated with boron and gadolinium as assessed by the comet assay
Background: Boron and gadolinium are among the nuclides that hold a unique property of being a neutron capture therapy agent. Neutron beams have often a considerable portion of gamma rays with fast neutrons. Gamma rays, as beam contaminants, can cause considerable damage to normal tissues even if such tissues do contain high boron concentrations. Materials and Methods: The modification of radio...
