two sophisticated systems: Metafer (Metasystems, Germany) and ImageStream (Amnis,<br />
USA). Metafer is automatized microscopic system that has recently been introduced<br />
for analyzing DNA repair foci. ImageStream is a combination of flow cytometer with<br />
fluorescent microscope. Thus, we compare ImageStream with Metafer in analyzing<br />
IRIF. We found that sensitivity of both systems to low-dose-induced γH2AX foci was<br />
very similar: ImageStream show statistical significant induction at the dose of 5cGy and<br />
Metafer at the dose of 10cGy while prior analysis using classical flow cytometry showed<br />
statistical significance at doses ≥ 50cGy. Analysis of 53BP1 foci by ImageStream was less<br />
sensitive then by Metafer.<br />
In conclusion, we show for the first time that analysis of low-dose-induced γH2AX foci by<br />
ImageStream system is very appropriate method, that reach sensitivity of automatized<br />
Metafer microscopic system and is more sensitive than measuring γH2AX fluorescence<br />
by classical flow cytometry. Thus, ImageStream is the system that has great potential for<br />
analyzing DNA repair foci.<br />
