Oxidative Damage, Bleomycin, and Gamma Radiation Induce Different Types of DNA Strand Breaks in Normal Lymphocytes and Thymocytes: A Comet Assay Study
1 Dec 1999
Abstract excerpt
Most anticancer treatments such as chemo- and radiotherapy induce DNA damage and apoptosis in normal cells. The aim of this study was to assess the induction of single and double DNA strand breaks (ssb and dsb, respectively) and apoptosis in normal human lymphocytes and rat thymocytes subjected to the action of H2O2, bleomycin and ionizing radiation. Normal human peripheral thymocytes and young rat thymocytes...
