Dear Fellow Flow-ers,

I just wanted to pass this around to anyone who may be interested in flow
cytometric scoring of micronuclei or high-throughput DNA damage
determination.	We at Litron are developing a new method that allows one to
do just that in the in vitro micronucleus assay.

An adaptation of Michael Nusse's processes, this method takes advantage of a
sequential staining technique to overcome the challenge of spurious events
due to apoptosis.  Dr. Steve Dertinger, who worked diligently on the in vivo
MN flow project, presented some of the results at this yearıs EMS meeting
here in the U.S.  

We are looking for other laboratories that would be interested in helping to
develop this project.  Anyone who would like more info, please feel free to
drop me a note anytime.

Best wishes!
