Induction of Chromosomal Aberrations at Fluences of Less Than One HZE Particle per Cell Nucleus
17 Sept 2014
Abstract excerpt
The assumption of a linear dose response used to describe the biological effects of high-LET radiation is fundamental in radiation protection methodologies. We investigated the dose response for chromosomal aberrations for exposures corresponding to less than one particle traversal per cell nucleus by high-energy charged (HZE) nuclei. Human fibroblast and lymphocyte cells were irradiated with several low doses of...
