Extremely Low Priming Doses of X Radiation Induce an Adaptive Response for Chromosomal Inversions in pKZ1 Mouse Prostate
26 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
An adaptive response is a response to a stress such as radiation exposure that results in a lower than expected biological response. We describe an adaptive response to X radiation in mouse prostate using the pKZ1 chromosomal inversion assay. pKZ1 mice were treated with a priming dose of 0.001, 0.01, 1 or 10 mGy followed 4 h later by a 1000-mGy challenge dose. All priming doses caused a similar reduction in...
