Inter-laboratory Evaluation of γH2AX/53BP1 DNA Double-strand Break Foci Assays in Human Lymphocytes Under Low-dose Irradiation: Implications for Calyculin A

Puntos clave

This research aims to assess the reproducibility of γH2AX/53BP1 assays in measuring DNA damage from low-dose irradiation.
Conducted inter-laboratory evaluations of γH2AX/53BP1 foci assays in human lymphocytes.
Focused on workflow harmonization to enhance reproducibility.
Evaluated the role of pharmacological enhancement, specifically Calyculin A.
Demonstrated successful inter-laboratory reproducibility of the assays.
Confirmed that disciplined workflow is more critical than pharmacological enhancement.
Supported the applicability of these assays in broader radiation exposure assessments.

Resumen

These findings demonstrate that inter-laboratory reproducibility of γH2AX/53BP1-based biodosimetry is achieved primarily through disciplined workflow harmonization rather than through pharmacological enhancement. By reinforcing assay reproducibility and biological consistency, this work supports the translational applicability of IRIF-based biodosimetry for broader application in radiation exposure assessment.
