Abstract excerpt
Radiation-induced HPRT mutants are generally assumed to arise directly from DNA damage that is misrepaired within a few hours after X-irradiation. However, there is the possibility that mutations result indirectly from radiation-induced genomic instability that may occur several days after the initial radiation exposure. The protocols that commonly employ a 5-7 day expression period to allow for expression of the...
