Comparison of sensitivity of six indices, i.e., SCE, MN, CA, FADU, DRSI and UDS, in detection of genetic damage to human peripheral blood lymphocytes caused by benzo(a)pyrene were studied under the same condition for in vitro toxicant treatment and cell culture. Ratio of the slope of regression straight line of concentration-response to the standard deviation of regression staigy line from observed values was used as an indicator reflecting sensitivity of all the above indices. The results showed the order of sensitivities of all the above indices are as follows: SCE > MN > CA > FADU > DRSI > UDS. SCE and MN (cytokinesis block method) should be choice of indices to monitor genetic damage in human population exposed to benzo(a)pyrene. And, it is warranted to use FADU, as a simple, convenient and rapid method, in human population monitoring.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell

D001564 Benzo(a)pyrene A potent mutagen and carcinogen. It is a public health concern because of its possible effects on industrial workers, as an environmental pollutant, an as a component of tobacco smoke. 3,4-Benzopyrene,3,4-Benzpyrene,3,4 Benzopyrene,3,4 Benzpyrene
D012680 Sensitivity and Specificity Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed) Specificity,Sensitivity,Specificity and Sensitivity
D012854 Sister Chromatid Exchange An exchange of segments between the sister chromatids of a chromosome, either between the sister chromatids of a meiotic tetrad or between the sister chromatids of a duplicated somatic chromosome. Its frequency is increased by ultraviolet and ionizing radiation and other mutagenic agents and is particularly high in BLOOM SYNDROME.
