Note (General)Dicentric chromosome assay (DCA) is the most accepted cytological technique for the purpose of biological dosimetry in radiological and nuclear accidents, however, it is not always easy to evaluate dicentric chromosomes because of the technical difficulty in identifying dicentric chromosomes on Giemsa-stained metaphase chromosome samples. Here, we applied an antibody recognizing centromere protein (CENP) C, CENP-C, whose antigenicity is resistant to the fixation with Carnoy's solution. Normal human diploid cells were irradiated with various doses of 137Cs γ rays at 1 Gy/ min, treated with hypotonic solution, fixed with Carnoy's fixative, and metaphase chromosome spreads were stained with anti-CENP-C antibody. Dose-dependent induction of dicentric chromosomes was confirmed between 1 and 10 Gy of γ rays, and the results were compatible with those obtained by the conventional Giemsa-stained chromosome samples. The CENP-C assay also uncovered the difference in the fluorescence from the sister centromeres on the same chromosome, which was more pronounced after radiation exposure. Although the underlying mechanism is still to be determined, the result suggests a novel effect of radiation on centromeres. The innovative protocol for CENP-C-based DCA, which enables ideal visualization of centromeres, is simple, effective and reliable. It does not require skilled examiners, so that it may be an alternative method, avoiding uneasiness of the current DCA using Giemsa-stained metaphase chromosome samples.
