Abstract
Micronuclei were induced in human lymphocytes by mitomycin C or gamma radiation. After the incubation the cells were separated in B- and T-cells by an immunomagnetic method, i.e., Dynabeads. The cultures were stimulated by PHA. The effect of different incubation times (60-110 h) as well as different doses of mitomycin C (0-100 nmol/l) and gamma radiation (0-2 Gy) at an incubation time of 72 h were studied. There were significantly higher frequencies of micronuclei in B- than in T-cells, when micronuclei were induced by mitomycin C. This was not found with gamma radiation, probably because of a cytotoxic effect of this agent on the B-cells.
