Abstract excerpt
Cell cycle dependence for the induction of 6-thioguanine-resistant mutation was investigated using synchronized mouse L5178Y cells after exposure to 4 Gy to 60Co gamma-rays or 1 Gy of 252Cf radiation (fission neutrons). Maximal mutation frequency was observed immediately after release from colcemid block (G2/M phase) after 252Cf radiation, whereas it was 1 h after the release (G1 phase) after 60Co gamma-rays....
