Low doses of diagnostic energy X-rays protect against neoplastic transformation in vitro
1 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of low doses of 60 kVp X-rays on in vitro transformation frequency. MATERIALS AND METHODS: HeLa x skin fibroblast human hybrid cells were used to assay transformation from the non-tumorigenic to the tumorigenic phenotype. Subconfluent cultures of cells were exposed to a range of doses of 60 kVp X-rays and seeded for assay of transformation after 24 h post-irradiation holding....
