Background
Exposure of cells to oxidative and environmental stresses frequently results in the breakdown or oxidation of genomic DNA. Assays to evaluate the integrity of genomic DNA, or to assess the presence of oxidized DNA are frequently used as a means of verifying the onset of apoptosis or DNA damage. Assay Designs? COMET SCGE Assay measures DNA damage by fluorescently detecting the integrity of DNA liberated from cells embedded in low melting point agarose. Upon electrophoresis, fragmented DNA produces a characteristic ?comet? shaped tail as small DNA fragments migrate in the gel more rapidly than in-tact genomic DNA. The Stressgen® DNA Damage Kit is a competitive ELISA for the detection and quantification of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), an oxidized nucleoside of DNA that is excised from damaged DNA and present in urine and serum. 8-OHdG is a frequently used biomarker of oxidative DNA damage and oxidative stress, and may serve as a risk factor for cancer, atherosclerosis and diabetes.
