title: Detection of single-stranded DNA damage using monoclonal anti-thymidine antibody.
abstract: A method to detect single-stranded DNA damage from individual cells has been developed using a monoclonal anti-thymidine antibody (MoAb20B7). Initially, HL-60 cells were incubated with daunomycin at different concentrations, and processed by MoAb20B7. While 73.5% of the cells incubated with 5 micrograms/ml of daunomycin for 24 h reacted positively with MoAb20B7, 83.5% cells at 10 micrograms/ml daunomycin dose were positive. Next, this method was combined with unscheduled DNA synthesis to simultaneously measure repair and damage from individual cells. Finally, patients with acute myeloid leukemias were studied before and 24 h after therapy with a daunomycin containing regimen. In vivo damage could be determined in a prompt fashion.
