Description

Acridine orange is a fluorescent dye that is used as a biological stain. It binds to DNA and stains the cells it has bound to, making them more visible under an ultraviolet light. This dye also produces kinetic data on the micronucleus test in mice and rats. Acridine orange can be used to detect genotoxic effects in animals and humans, such as genetic damage or cancer. Kinetic studies have shown statistically significant increases in plasma mass spectrometry, but no significant changes in erythrosine uptake were observed. Acridine orange has been shown to cause genotoxic effects on brain cells and testicular cells.
