Increased amounts of cytochrome b-245 and a 45 kDa polypeptide component of the hydrogen peroxide-generating oxidase were detected in the human monocytic cell line U937 after incubation in interferon-gamma. The time course of increase in cytochrome b-245 paralleled the induction of oxidase activity. Induction of the 45 kDa component had a different time course, having a greater lag before increased amounts were seen.

Abstract This protocol details the experimental procedure for performing the comet assay, a very sensitive DNA break assay based on single cell gel electrophoresis.The analysis of DNA strand breaks, both single- and double-strand breaks (SSBs and DSBs, respectively), was performed in immune responsive cells. The cell line used was the human monocytic cell line THP-1, an adherent cell type with many known applications in in vitro studies of innate immunity. The comet assay is a robust procedure that allows the accurate and reproducible quantification of DNA damage. Here we describe not only the comet assay step-by-step protocol, but also some important aspects related to troubleshooting.
