Abstract excerpt
We have measured expression of transformed phenotypes in human embryo (HE) cells repeatedly irradiated with a dose of 7.5 cGy per week throughout the life span of these cells in vitro. Irradiation was repeated until the cells had accumulated 195 cGy at which time the cells had reached the equivalent of their 26th passage and samples of cells at several passages were assayed for cell survival by colony formation,...
