Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We have shown previously that when monolayer cultures of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are exposed to very low fluences of alpha-particles, HPRT mutations are induced in non-irradiated 'bystander' cells in the population. The present investigation was designed to examine the role of DNA repair in this process. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The DNA double-strand repair-deficient mutant cell line xrs-5 was...
