BackgroundA sensitive mammalian cell mutation assay was developed previously using a Chinese hamster ovary cell line (CHO AL) that stably incorporates human chromosome 11. The assay measures mutations in theCD59gene on chromosome 11 but it requires the use of rabbit complement and colony growth for mutant selection. We have developed a more rapid flow cytometry‐based mutation assay with CHO ALcells that uses monoclonal antibodies against CD59 to detect mutants and does not require colony formation.MethodsCHO ALcells were treated with γ‐radiation or N‐methyl‐N′‐nitro‐N‐nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) and then allowed to grow for various times for mutant expression. Cells were labeled with monoclonal antibodies against CD59 and analyzed by flow cytometry.ResultsNegative and positive populations were separated by over 100‐fold. Mixing various proportions of CD59‐positive and ‐negative cells demonstrated that the assay is highly linear (r2= 0.9999) and sensitive (<0.05% background mutants). The yield ofCD59‐inducible mutants was linearly related to dose for a clastogen (γ‐radiation) and point mutagen (MNNG). The mutant yield was time and treatment specific.ConclusionsMutations induced by genotoxic agents can be rapidly and sensitively measured in CHO ALcells using flow cytometry. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
