The in vitro micronucleus assay in conjunction with CREST-staining and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with centromere-specific DNA probes is being increasingly utilized for the detection of clastogenic and aneuploidy-inducing agents. Although potentially powerful techniques, both methods have unique characteristics

Analysis of 4,4'-methylenebis(2-cholroaniline) (MOCA) or its metabolites in urine has been considered as the appropriate method to assess MOCA exposures through inhalation and skin absorption. MOCA and its metabolite, N-acetyl 4,4'-methylenebis(2-chloroaniline) (acetyl-MOCA), are analyzed using methods either limited by sensitivity

Cytogenetic end-points used to estimate risk of genotoxic events in workers include the measurement of micronuclei (MN) in exfoliated cells, lymphocytes, and other tissues. Micronuclei are chromatin-containing bodies outside the cell nucleus resulting from contaminant-induced DNA damage. A review of

Oxidative DNA damage may play an important role in the human carcinogenic process. Recently, we reported a case of bladder cancer among 4, 4'-methylenebis (2-chloroaniline) (MBOCA)-exposed workers. By measuring the plasma level of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), we investigated the association between
