Micronucleus (MN) induction by azidothymidine (AZT) in B and T lymphocytes was analyzed by a recently developed MAC (morphology-antibody-chromosome) method which allows the immunologic identification of different cell lineages. An increased frequency of MN in AZT-treated cultures compared with controls was observed. CD4 cells were found to be more sensitive to AZT damage. AZT-treated cultures showed a significant decrease in the proportion of CD4 interphasic cells. Furthermore, higher MN frequencies in isolated lymphocytes than in whole blood in both control and AZT-treated cultures were observed.
通过最近开发的MAC(形态学-抗体-染色体)方法分析了齐多夫定(AZT)在B和T淋巴细胞中诱导微核(MN)的情况,该方法能够对不同细胞谱系进行免疫学鉴定。与对照组相比,观察到AZT处理的培养物中MN频率增加。发现CD4细胞对AZT损伤更敏感。AZT处理的培养物中CD4间期细胞的比例显著降低。此外,在对照和AZT处理的培养物中,均观察到分离淋巴细胞中的MN频率高于全血中的MN频率。
