Abstract excerpt
We investigated the mutagenic radioadaptive response of human lymphoblastoid TK6 cells by pretreating them with a low dose (5 cGy) of X-rays followed by a high (2 Gy) dose 6h later. Pretreatment reduced the 2-Gy-induced mutation frequency (MF) of the thymidine kinase (TK) gene (18.3 x 10(-6)) to 62% of the original level (11.4 x 10(-6)). A loss of heterozygosity (LOH) detection analysis applied to the isolated...
