Is the Comet Assay a Sensitive Procedure for Detecting Genotoxicity? [PDF]
Journal of Nucleic Acids, 2010 Although the Comet assay, a procedure for quantitating DNA damage in mammalian cells, is considered sensitive, it has never been ascertained that its sensitivity is higher than the sensitivity of other genotoxicity assays in mammalian cells. To determine

The Comet Assay: Tails of the (Un)expected. Use of the comet assay in pharmaceutical development.
Frontiers in Genetics, 2015 In genotoxicity testing of pharmaceuticals the rodent alkaline comet assay is being increasingly used as a second in vivo assay in addition to the in vivo micronucleus assay to mitigate in vitro positive results as recommended by regulatory guidance.

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.

The comet assay – from toy to tool
Frontiers in Genetics, 2015 The comet assay is nowadays the most common method for measuring DNA damage and repair in single cells. It is based on the microelectrophoretic study published by Ostling and Johanson (1984) and was developed by Singh and coworkers (1988) to a versatile ...

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.
