Lack of evidence for low-LET radiation induced bystander response in normal human fibroblasts and colon carcinoma cells

1 Feb 2010

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To investigate radiation-induced bystander responses and to determine the role of gap junction intercellular communication and the radiation environment in propagating this response. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We used medium transfer and targeted irradiation to examine radiation-induced bystander effects in primary human fibroblast (AG01522) and human colon carcinoma (RKO36) cells. We examined the effect of...
