Bystander effect induced by counted high‐LET particles in confluent human fibroblasts: a mechanistic study
30 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
The possible mechanism of a radiation-induced bystander response was investigated by using a high-LET heavy particle microbeam, which allows selected cells to be individually hit with precise numbered particles. Even when only a single cell within the confluent culture was hit by one particle of 40Ar (approximately 1260 keV/microm) or 20Ne (approximately 380 keV/microm), a 1.4-fold increase of micronuclei (MN)...
