Radiation and environmental biophysics - 1 May 2012
Heidenreich W F, Rosemann M
Abstract excerpt
We explore the potential for the biologically based two-stage clonal expansion model to make statements about the influence of genetic factors on the steps in the model. We find evidence that the different susceptibility of BALB/C and CBA/Ca mice to bone cancer after (227)Thorium injection may be mostly due to different promotional responses to radiation. In BALB/C × CBA/Ca back-crossed mice, we analyzed the...
