Abstract excerpt
We have shown previously that when confluent cultures of mammalian cells are exposed to very low fluences of alpha particles, fluences whereby only 1-3% of the cell nuclei are traversed by a particle, genetic effects, including specific gene mutations and sister chromatid exchanges, are induced in neighboring, nonirradiated ("bystander") cells (H. Nagasawa and J. B. Little, Cancer Res., 52: 6394-6396, 1992; H....
