Abstract excerpt
These studies have examined alterations in the in vivo growth properties of mammary epithelial cells isolated at 1, 4, and 16 weeks after in vivo irradiation with -137Cs gamma rays or fission-spectrum neutrons. Altered in vitro growth potential was characterized by the proliferation of epithelial foci (EF) from irradiated animals under conditions in which mammary cells from nonexposed animals senesced. These EF...
