An in vitro assay using Salmonella typhimurium or Escherichia coli to detect point mutations, including base-pair substitutions and frameshift mutations. High throughput and rapid screening make it suitable for preliminary genotoxicity evaluation, commonly using TA98 and TA100 strains.
This in vitro test evaluates micronucleus formation in cultured mammalian lymphocytes after chemical exposure, reflecting chromosomal breaks or non-disjunction events. It is widely used for detecting chromosomal aberrations and assessing genotoxicity potential at the cellular level.
Performed in cultured mammalian cells, this assay identifies structural or numerical chromosome abnormalities induced by chemical compounds. It provides critical information on clastogenic potential and helps characterize genotoxic risks during early-stage compound evaluation.
An in vitro assay detecting mutations in specific genes, such as HPRT or TK, in mammalian cells exposed to chemicals. Suitable for identifying point mutation-type genotoxicity, it complements other chromosomal assays for comprehensive genotoxicity assessment.
The Comet Assay measures DNA strand breaks at the single-cell level in cultured cells. Its high sensitivity and quantitative nature make it effective for detecting DNA damage, providing rapid and reliable genotoxicity data during compound screening.
Performed in animals, usually mice or rats, this test evaluates micronucleus formation in bone marrow or peripheral blood cells following compound exposure. It is an established method to assess chromosomal damage potential in a whole organism context.
This assay analyzes structural changes in chromosomes of dividing cells in animals after treatment with test compounds. It provides insight into clastogenic effects in vivo, supporting safety evaluation by identifying chromosomal instability.
Using transgenic rodents with reporter genes such as lacZ or lacI, this in vivo assay detects gene mutations across multiple tissues. It allows comprehensive assessment of mutagenicity and complements traditional chromosomal tests in animal models.
Applied to animal tissue cells, the in vivo Comet Assay quantifies DNA strand breaks across different organs. This method provides sensitive, tissue-specific evaluation of DNA damage, aiding risk assessment of genotoxic compounds in vivo.
