ABSTRACT
Recent development in cytogenetic and molecular techniques, particularly combination of cytochalasin B method and fluorescence In situ hybridisation (FISH) now allow sensitive identification of clastogenic versus aneugenic events. To simplify the fluorescence micronucleus assay a technique based on combination of hypotonic banding and In situ hybridisation with pancentromeric probe (SO-αAllCen) is described. This work demonstrates more comfortable, easier and faster way to perform fluorescent micronucleus test
