Alpha-Particle-Induced Increases in the Radioresistance of Normal Human Bystander Cells
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
Numerous investigators have reported that direct exposure of cells to a low dose of ionizing radiation can induce a condition of enhanced radioresistance, i.e. a "radioadaptive" response. In this report, we investigated the hypothesis that a radioadaptive bystander effect may be induced in unirradiated cells by a transmissible factor(s) present in the supernatants of cells exposed to a low dose of alpha...
