Alternatives to Aroclor 1254-induced S9 in in vitro genotoxicity assays.

Abstract:

:A working party was set up by the UK Environmental Mutagen Society to consider alternatives to Aroclor 1254 (Aroclor)-induced S9 in in vitro genotoxicity assays, with the aims of considering whether a replacement for Aroclor in its role in general screening assays could be readily identified. The working party concluded that there was sufficient support in the literature to justify the use of an appropriate phenobarbital/beta-naphthoflavone regime as an acceptable alternative to Aroclor.

  • Role of base excision repair genes and proteins in gamma-irradiated resting human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

    abstract::Ionising radiation induces several isolated and clustered DNA lesions in human cells. Depending on the type of lesions, DNA repair pathways get activated to maintain the integrity of the genome. Base excision repair (BER) pathway is known to repair single-strand breaks and base damages through short- and long-patch ge...
