Evaluation of Mutagenic Potential of Mold Extracts Isolated from Buildings Using the Mouse Lymphoma Thymidine Kinase Gene Mutation Assay (MLA)
نویسندگان
چکیده
In recent years interest in mycotoxin-producing fungi growing in indoor environments has increased. Evidence of mutagenic potential of some molds or their mycotoxins is still equivocal. Much more information is available for single mycotoxins or their metabolites than for complex mixtures composed of different

Genotoxic effects of synthetic amorphous silica nanoparticles in the mouse lymphoma assay
Synthetic amorphous silica nanoparticles (SAS NPs) have been used in various industries, such as plastics, glass, paints, electronics, synthetic rubber, in pharmaceutical drug tablets, and a as food additive in many processed foods. There are few studies in the literature on NPs using gene mutation approaches in mammalian cells, which represents an important gap for genotoxic risk estimations. ...
متن کاملGenotoxicity and toxicity of the potential cancer-preventive agent polyphenon E.
The potential health benefits of green tea continue to attract public and scientific interests and are attributed in part to polyphenolic catechin constituents. Polyphenon E (Poly E) is a decaffeinated green tea catechin mixture containing about 50% epigallocatechin gallate and 30% other catechins. We evaluated the toxicity and genotoxicity of Poly E by using two in vitro assays: bacterial muta...
متن کاملEvaluation of mutagenicity by exposure to intermediate frequency (2, 10, 20 kHz) magnetic fields
In this study, we examine mutagenicity of 2, 10 and 20 kHz, 0.8mT intermediate frequency magnetic fields (IF-MFs) by mouse lymphoma assay (MLA) using L5178Y tk3.7.2c cells. The result shows that no significant increase or decrease in mutation frequency by exposure to any IF-MFs. In addition, no significant difference was observed in colony formation such as shape or frequency of large and small...
متن کاملOecd Guideline for the Testing of Chemicals
1. The OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals are periodically reviewed in the light of scientific progress, changing regulatory needs and animal welfare considerations and revised as appropriate. This test guideline is part of a series of test Guidelines on genetic toxicology. A document presented as an introduction to the Test Guidelines on genetic toxicology (OECD 201x) can also be ref...
متن کاملIn vitro Interaction of HSV-1 ORF P with Both Thymidine Kinase (TK) and an Unidentified Cellular Protein
Herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) is a neurotropic pathogen of humans that establishes latent infection in the sensory ganglia innervating the site of primary infection. A number of genes control HSV-1 pathogenicity and latency. Open reading frame P (ORF P) is one of these genes that might have a role in latency and pathogenesis. A complication in the analysis of the role of ORF P in the HSV-...
