X Abstract

Acridine Orange fluorescent staining was applied to the micronucleus test in mice and rats. Micronuclei emitted bright green fluorescence and were easily distinguished from micronucleus-like inclusions or contaminants. In rat bone-marrow cells, micronuclei with green fluorescence could be easily distinguished from granules accidentally dispersed from broken mast cells, which showed bright red fluorescence. Therefore, it is recommended that the Acridine Orange staining method be used to provide more reliable data in the micronucleus test.
