Abstract excerpt
In human and animal cells, an adaptive response has been found to make cells somewhat refractory to the induction of chromosomal damage by high doses applied subsequently. These responses can also be induced in vivo by irradiating animals with low, or chronic doses. In regard to cytogenetic damag...
