A more comprehensive application of the micronucleus technique for biomonitoring of genetic damage rates in human populations—experiences from the Chernobyl catastrophe

The current method for scoring micronuclei as a measure of genetic damage rate in peripheral blood cells is to enumerate this end point in cytokinesis-blocked binucleated cultured lymphocytes. However, one can expect that, due to chronic exposure to genotoxins or inherent genetic instability, micron... View More
