Abstract
The results obtained during this preliminary assessment indicate that the in vitro γH2AX assay has a high accuracy (86%) as a result of high sensitivity and specificity (86-92% and 80-88% respectively). Our data highlight the potential for γH2AX detection in HCS as a complement to the current regulatory genotoxicity battery of in vitro assays. We therefore recommend more comprehensive assessments to confirm the performance of the in vitro γH2AX assay by HCS with a more extensive set of compounds.
