Clonal heterogeneity in the progeny of HeLa cells which survive X-irradiation.

International journal of radiation biology - 1 Aug 1994

Brown D C, Trott K R

Abstract excerpt

Clones of HeLa cells that had survived 9 Gy X-rays were investigated for plating efficiency, radiosensitivity, the proportion of giant cells, and chromosome numbers. A significant decrease in plating efficiency was observed that persisted for > 20 population doublings. The reduced plating efficie...
