Flow Cytometric Endpoints
Endpoint | Measure of |
---|---|
Micronucleus frequency | DNA double-strand breaks and/or chromosome lag |
EMA-negative nuclei : bead ratio | Cytotoxicity (relative survival) |
EMA-positive event frequency | Cytotoxicity (apopotosis and/or necrosis) |
Perturbations to SYTOX fluorescence | Cytotoxicity (cell cycle effects) |
Hypodiploid nuclei frequency | Aneuploidization (although apoptosis can not be ruled out) |
Abbreviations: EMA = ethidium monoazide bromide
