Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The shape of the dose-effect curve for neutrons, i.e. the question as to whether the curve is linear or supralinear in the low-dose region, is still not clear. Therefore, the mutagenic effect of very low doses of low-energy neutrons was determined. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Human-hamster hybrid A(L) cells contain human chromosome 11, which expresses the membrane protein CD59. This membrane protein can be...
