Comet assay in myelodysplastic syndromes [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Hematologia e Hemoterapia, 2012 The comet assay (single-cell gel electrophoresis) has been established as a simple, rapid, flexible and sensitive method of detecting DNA damage in single cells(1,2). Cells embedded in agarose on a microscope slide are lysed with detergent. Electrophoresis at high pH results in structures resembling comets, observed by fluorescence microscopy; the ...

Assessment of DNA damage of smooth muscle cells in tunica media of human arterial allografts using Comet assay method. [PDF]
PLoS ONEDuring the harvest and subsequent processing of blood vessels for allogeneic transplantation, DNA damage can occur. A suitable method for quantifying this damage may be the comet assay, also known as the single cell gel electrophoresis assay, which is ...

In vivo Mammalian Alkaline Comet Assay: Method Adapted for Genotoxicity Assessment of Nanomaterials [PDF]
Frontiers in Toxicology, 2022 The in vivo Comet assay measures the generation of DNA strand breaks under conditions in which the DNA will unwind and migrate to the anode in an electrophoresis assay, producing comet-like figures.

OpenComet: An automated tool for comet assay image analysis
Redox Biology, 2014 Reactive species such as free radicals are constantly generated in vivo and DNA is the most important target of oxidative stress. Oxidative DNA damage is used as a predictive biomarker to monitor the risk of development of many diseases.
