The Comet assay, or single-cell gel electrophoresis assay, is an easy and simple yet reliable method to evaluate DNA damage in cells. Under the alkaline conditions of this method, DNA strand breaks and alkaline-labile sites are detected. Here we describe the alkaline version of the Comet assay with applications in testing nanoparticles.
彗星试验，即单细胞凝胶电泳试验，是一种评估细胞中DNA损伤的简便而可靠的方法。在该方法的碱性条件下，可检测到DNA链断裂和碱不稳定位点。在此，我们描述彗星试验的碱性版本及其在纳米颗粒测试中的应用。
