Abstract
A significant decrease in the baseline of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) was observed in cultured human lymphocytes, if 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) was added after 60 h of culture, and the cells were harvested at least 24–30 h after BrdU exposure. This decrease is supposed to occur if at least one cell division takes place before the addition of BrdU. For cytogenetic monitoring of mutagenic environmental factors, using human lymphocyte cultures, it is assumed that two time periods are sufficient for comparison.
