Comet assay in 0.5% LGT and 1% LGT. Chinese hamster CHO cells were exposed to each chemical mutagen for 1 h, and then slides for Comet assay were prepared immediately after the exposure. Electrophoresis was conducted at pH>13. 4NQO, 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide; AMD, actinomycin D ^∗Significant difference from untreated control: 𝑃<.05.
