[Studies on DNA damage in human blood lymphocytes using the single cell microgel electrophoresis technique].

In this paper, the single cell microgel electrophoresis (SCG) technique was described in detail, and effects of DNA damage of human blood lymphocytes induced by gamma-rays radiation, H2O2 and CdCl2 were studied using this technique. It was shown that gamma-rays, H2O2 and CdCl2 all caused the increase of DNA migration length in the lymphocytes in the dose-dependent manner. The principle of the SCG technique, cause of DNA migration in the untreated control cells, and noticeable details in the SCG technique were also discussed.
