Evaluating Human Cell Survival And Dna Damage After Exposure To Various Amounts Of Chlorine Dioxide And Exploring Its Use As A Potential Cancer Chemotherapy Agent, Niuska Mariana Alvarez Fuenmayor

SURF - Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship Projects

Chlorine Dioxide (ClO₂) is a synthetic, green-yellowish gas with a chlorine-like, irritating odor that is used for the treatment of drinking water and food preservation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the genotoxic potential of the chlorine dioxide in mammalian cells and to determine what dose of ClO₂ is tolerable by normal cells and cells with aberrant DNA repair genes. Human and mouse embryonic cells were treated with various ClO₂ dilutions ranging from 2.5 mM to 25 mM. The cell viability and metabolic activity was determined via MTT, a colorimetric assay. Human HEK293 cells …
