Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that when confluent cultures of mammalian cells are exposed to very low fluences of alpha particles, fluences whereby as few as 1% of the cell nuclei are traversed by a single particle, genetic effects including specific gene mutations and sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) are induced in neighboring, non-irradiated "bystander" cells. The present investigation was designed to examine the...
