Introduction: The cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) assay is a standardized method used to evaluate genomic damage after exposure to various genotoxic agents such as

ionizing radiation. Next to conventional whole blood cultures (WBC), also isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) cultures are used for the CBMN assay.

However, there is no extensive investigation of a standardized protocol for the PBMCs CBMN assay. The aim of this study was to work out a reliable CBMN assay protocol for fresh and frozen isolated PBMC. Furthermore, we analyzed if PBMCs, isolated out of exposed whole blood, lead to representative MN data.

Methods: Blood samples of 10 donors were collected. Each donor’s blood was used to set up a G0 CBMN assay on whole blood, on isolated fresh and frozen PBMCs. In these assays isolation of PBMCs occurred before in vitro irradiation. Additionally, PBMCs were isolated from irradiated whole blood samples and MN were scored. Cells were exposed to in vitro doses ranging from 0,5 to 2 Gy of 220 kV X-rays.

Results: The CBMN assay on PBMCs, isolated both pre and post- irradiation, showed a high reproducibility, sensitivity and similarity with the conventional WBC CBMN assay.

After freezing, cells showed no significant differences in MN counts until the time point of 2 weeks, where after significant elevated MN counts were assessed.

Conclusion: A reliable CBMN assay protocol for PBMCs, isolated both pre and post- irradiation, will be presented. Extra attention is needed when freezing isolated PBMCs for a longer period than 2 weeks.
