Persistence of red blood cells with Pig-a mutation in p53 knockout mice exposed to X-irradiation.

Abstract excerpt

The Pig-a mutation assay is becoming one of the major experimental procedures used to assess in vivo genotoxicity. The assay allows simple in vivo analysis and enables gene mutations in the hematopoietic system to be measured using high throughput flow cytometry. Previously, we demonstrated that X-irradiation increased the Pig-a mutant frequencies in red blood cells (RBCs) of mice in a radiation dose-dependent...
