[Cytogenetic damages in the cells of allergy patients].

The levels of cytogenetic damages in cell cultures of chemical industry workers suffering from different forms of allergy have been investigated. The levels of chromosomal aberrations in cells of allergic patients are shown to reliably increase as against those of healthy donors. Studies on SCE levels have shown no such differences between the patients and donors. The SCE levels have been determined at different periods of BUdR addition and cultures fixation under the effect of environmental factors.
