Abstract

To analyze the genomic instability induced by γ-rays, cytokinesis-block MN assay was employed to investigate the gene damage of cells and their progeny cells exposed to radiation. The micronucleus frequency were related to the irradiation dose and decreased as the culture time lengthened. There was a correlation between the micronucleus frequency and the initial dose after the second irradiation. The micronucleus frequency may be causally related to radiation-induced genomic instability which is expressed as chromosomal damage leading to micronuclei.
