The mutagenic potential of non-homologous end joining in the absence of the NHEJ core factors Ku70/80, DNA-PKcs and XRCC4-LigIV.

abstract：:A modified protocol is described for the in vitro analysis of micronuclei in whole blood or separated lymphocyte cultures. The induction of binucleate cells by various concentrations of cytochalasin B (3, 4.5 or 6 micrograms/ml) was examined at two harvest times (68 or 72 h). An optimal yield was obtained by adding cy...
