Genotoxicity testing of Growth factor cocktail medium by comet assay. (a,b) Analysis of DNA damage by comet assay measuring tail moment which is the percentage of DNA in the tail and the mean interval of migration in the tail. Olive moment is the outcome of the proportion of total DNA in the tail and the distance between the centres of head mass and tail area. No significant difference was detected between all groups, p > 0.05, as analysed by two-tailed unpaired Student’s t-test. (d) A representative picture of DNA of hNSCs cultured in GFs with an insignificant level of DNA damage. (c) A representative picture of damaged DNA of chondrocytes treated with 100 μmol/L hydrogen peroxide. GF—Growth Factors Cultured Chondrocytes. P—passage number; C—Control. Measurement was presented as mean ± SEM, (n = 6).
