Assessment of DNA damage in underground coal miners using the cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay in peripheral blood lymphocytes.

abstract：:The aim of the present study was to develop and standardize a cytogenetic approach for evaluation of the mutagenic potential of chemicals that induce cell cycle arrest in the G2 phase. Even though cytogenetic end-points such as sister chromatid exchange (SCE) have been extensively used to indirectly assess the DNA-dam...
