Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To obtain evidence that the p53 gene is indispensable for reduction of high teratogenic risk of radiation at a high dose-rate to zero risk by lowering the dose-rate. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Wild-type p53(+/+), heterozygous p53(+/-) and null p53(-/-) mice were exposed to gamma-rays at high...
