Abstract:
In this commentary we are addressing some additional thoughts on the in vitro MN test: its predictivity for in vivo MN assays, its sensitivity, and how the choice of the cell line and the protocol (with or without cytochalasin-B) can influence these aspects. These considerations might help to make the in vitro MN test a reliable, toxicologically relevant and sensitive in vitro genotoxicity test covering both clastogenic and aneugenic events, and predictive for in vivo genotoxicity, in humans as well.
