Abstract excerpt

The induction of potentially lethal damage and potentially mutagenic damage expressed by hypertonic salt treatment in late S-phase V79 cells after exposure to 46-MeV fast neutrons and 50-kVp X rays has been studied. Resistance to 6-thioguanine was used as the mutagenic end point. When cells in la...
