An assay is described based on the ability of certain endonucleases in Micrococcus luteus extracts to react specifically at sites of DNA damage, and produce single-strand breaks. The breaks were detected by sedimenting the DNA through alkali. DNA repair was assumed to occur if the number of endonuclease sensitive sites decreased during post-treatment incubation of cells. It is claimed that improvements have been obtained in an established technique by adding M. luteus extract to partially disintegrated cells, instead of to isolated purified DNA, enabling samples to be processed in 30 min with most of the manipulations at 0 deg C. As few as one or two endonuclease-sensitive sites per 100 million daltons of DNA could be detected. The potential of the method is demonstrated with results obtained from uv-irradiated human diploid fibroblasts. (UK)
