X-ray-induced DNA double-strand breaks in human sperm
1 Jan 1998
Abstract excerpt
A methodology for quantifying DNA double-strand breaks in human sperm is described. Sperm from three healthy human donors on three separate days each were irradiated with 12.5, 25, 50 and 100 cGy X-rays. Linear dose-response effects were observed in migrated DNA from sperm nuclei when electrophoresed under neutral conditions. RNase and proteinase K treatments for longer duration were necessary, to decondense the...
