Chromosome Damage in Human Cells by γ Rays, α Particles and Heavy Ions: Track Interactions in Basic Dose-Response Relationships
30 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
We irradiated normal human lymphocytes and fibroblasts with (137)Cs γ rays, 3.5 MeV α particles and 1 GeV/amu (56)Fe ions and measured the subsequent formation of chromosome-type aberrations by mFISH at the first mitosis following irradiation. This was done for the purposes of characterizing the shape of dose-response relationships and determining the frequency distribution of various aberration types with...
