DNA damage and repair in lymphocytes of normal individuals and cancer patients: studies by the comet assay and micronucleus tests.
31 Mar 2003
Abstract excerpt
A population study is reported in which the DNA damage induced by g-radiation (2 Gy) and the kinetics of the subsequent repair were estimated by the comet and micronucleus assays in isolated lymphocytes of 82 healthy donors and patients with head and neck cancer before radiotherapy. The parameters of background and radiation-induced DNA damage, rate of repair, and residual non-repaired damage were measured by...
