Abstract excerpt

We have compared DNA double-strand break (dsb) induction and rejoining, using field-inversion gel electrophoresis, with survival in mutant (XR-V15B) and in wild-type parental (V79B) hamster cell lines after low dose neutron and X-irradiation. We found that neutrons do not appear to induce more ds...
