Possible dose response curves in the comet assay. While the common assumption is that genotoxicity is most likely to be detected at doses immediately below the MTD (- - -), the genotoxic effect as well as the confounding effects of tissue cytotoxicity (―) and even very steep dose response curves (….) can be detected in the comet assay at doses significantly lower than the MTD.
