The aim of the study is to investigate the single and combined genotoxic effect two pesticides on cultured human lymphocytes by using the Micronucleus (MN) assay. The lymphocytes were treated with three different concentrations of pesticides singly and in combination (a mix), Acetamiprid (0.625, 1.25, 2.5 mu g mL(-1)) Propineb (12.5, 25, 50 mu g mL(-1)) and Acetamiprid+Propineb (0.625+12.5, 1.25+25, 2.5+50 mu g mL(-1)), for 24 and 48 hours. MN frequency significantly increased at a 48-hour exposure period when the lymphocytes were exposed to the combined pesticides. The data demonstrated that these pesticides may have a synergistic effect and may have potential genotoxic activity in cultured human lymphocytes. Also, it was shown that when they are combined and exposed to lymphocytes these pesticides have a cytotoxic effect.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAcetamipridPropinebin vitrohuman lymphocyte cultureArticle2411B39473955WOS:000367698600008N/AQ4
