DNA Damage Responses at Low Radiation Doses
1 Sept 2005
Abstract excerpt
Increased cell killing after exposure to low acute doses of X rays (0-0.5 Gy) has been demonstrated in cells of a number of human tumor cell lines. The mechanisms underlying this effect have been assumed to be related to a threshold dose above which DNA repair efficiency or fidelity increases. We have used cells of two radioresistant human tumor cell lines, one that shows increased sensitivity to low radiation...
