We developed a method for detecting chromosomal aberrations after irradiation with high doses of gamma-rays. At high dose levels, few of the irradiated cells are able to enter mitosis so that it is difficult to obtain enough mitotic chromosomes using a conventional colcemid block. Therefore, okadaic acid was used to condense prematurely the chromosomes of interphase cells. Even after irradiation with doses > 40 Gy, okadaic acid was able to force sufficient numbers of cells to condense their chromosomes. Segments of chromosomes were then detected by chromosome painting using a gold-conjugated antibody followed by silver enhancement. This simple method allows highly damaged chromosomes to be detected with great sensitivity.
我们开发了一种用于检测高剂量伽马射线照射后染色体畸变的方法。在高剂量水平下,很少有受照射细胞能够进入有丝分裂,因此使用传统的秋水仙酰胺阻滞法难以获得足够的有丝分裂染色体。因此,使用冈田酸使间期细胞的染色体过早浓缩。即使在照射剂量>40 Gy后,冈田酸仍能促使足够数量的细胞浓缩其染色体。然后使用金共轭抗体进行染色体描绘,接着进行银增强,以检测染色体片段。这种简单的方法能够高度灵敏地检测出严重受损的染色体。
