Abstract excerpt

The radioprotective effect of cysteamine has been studied in larva nerve ganglia of the radiosensitive mutant rad(20)201G1, mutagen-sensitive mutant mus(2)201G1 and the control strain of drosophila. Cysteamine was shown to produce a radioprotective effect in somatic cells of mus(2)201G1 and the c...
