Abstract

The cytogenetic effect of various genotoxic compounds was analysed in cytokinesis-blocked human peripheral lymphocytes and V 79 cells by using immunofluorescence and micronucleus methods. Cytochalasin-B (CYB) induced a maximum number of binucleated cells at 3-4 {dollar}\\mu{dollar}g/ml without any genotoxic effect. Comparative studies between binucleated (CB) and mononucleated micronucleus assays show that the micronucleus (MN) frequency in CB method was higher than those in the mononucleated cells (P {dollar}
