Abstract excerpt
Previous work identified TK6 and WTK1 as human lymphoblast cell lines from one donor that have different capacities to catalyze recombination and that vary significantly in their response to ionizing radiation. WTK1 cells are more resistant to the toxic effects of X-rays yet more sensitive to ind...
