Measuring DNA modifications with the comet assay: a compendium of protocols
Collins, Andrew; Møller, Peter; Gajski, Goran; Vodenková, Soňa; Abdulwahed, Abdulhadi; Anderson, Diana; Bankoglu, Ezgi Eyluel; Bonassi, StefanoThe comet assay is a versatile method to detect nuclear DNA damage in individual eukaryotic cells, from yeast to humans. The types of damage detected encompass DNA strand breaks and alkali-labile sites (e.g., apurinic/apyrimidinic sites), alkylated and oxidized nucleobases, DNA-DNA crosslinks, UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers, some chemically induced DNA adducts. Depending on the specimen type, there ar...

DNA damage in circulating leukocytes measured with the comet assay may predict ...
Bonassi, Stefano; Ceppi, Marcello; Møller, Peter; Azqueta, Amaya; Milić, Mirta; Monica, Neri; Brunborg, Gunnar; Godschalk, Roger; Koppen, GudrunThe comet assay or single cell gel electrophoresis is the most common method used to measure strand breaks and a variety of other DNA lesions in human populations. To estimate the risk of overall mortality, mortality by cause, and cancer incidence associated with DNA damage, a cohort of 2,403 healthy individuals (25,978 person-years) screened in 16 laboratories using the comet assay between 1996 and 2016 was fo...
DNA repair as a human biomonitoring tool: comet assay approaches
Azqueta, Amaya; Langie, Sabine A. S.; Boutet-Robinet, Elisa; Duthie, Susan; Ladeira, Carina; Møller, Peter; Collins, Andrew; Godschalk, Roger W. L.The comet assay offers the opportunity to measure both DNA damage and repair. Various comet assay based methods are available to measure DNA repair activity, but some requirements should be met for their effective use in human biomonitoring studies. These conditions include i) robustness of the assay, ii) sources of inter- and intra-individual variability must be known, iii) DNA repair kinetics should be assess...
Variation in the measurement of DNA damage by comet assay measured by the ECVAG...
Forchhammer, Lykke; Johansson, Clara; Loft, Steffen; Möller, Lennart; Godschalk, Roger, W. L.; Langie, Sabine A. S.; Jones, George D. D.The comet assay has become a popular method for the assessment of DNA damage in biomonitoring studies and genetic toxicology. However, few studies have addressed the issue of the noted inter-laboratory variability of DNA damage measured by the comet assay. In this study, 12 laboratories analysed the level of DNA damage in monocyte-derived THP-1 cells by either visual classification or computer-aided image analy...
