Genotoxicity of bovine bone-derived microhydroxyapatite (Boneplus-xs)

The aim of this study was to evaluate the genotoxic effect of a bovine bone-derived hydroxyapatite (HA), Boneplus-xs (B-P-XS). The genotoxicity of B-P-XS was investigated by examining the potential of the xenograft (B-P-XS) to induce gene mutation (evaluated using the Ames test), in vitro chromosome aberration (CA), and sister chromatid exchange (SCE) with tests in cultured human peripheral lymphocytes.
