Abstract excerpt
The response of Chinese hamster cells (V79-MI2G) to multiple, low doses of filtered mid-UV radiation (wavelengths longer than 300 nm) were examined over an exposure period of 30 days. Cell survival and the induction of mutation at the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HGPRT) locus using resistance to 6-thioguanine (TG) were the endpoints in this study. With increasing total accumulated dose given...
