[The modification of the radiation damage to the chromosomes in the somatic cells of radiosensitive Drosophila mutants. The radioprotective action of cysteamine].

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 control strain of drosophila which was manifested by the decreased incidence of cells with chromosome aberrations and...
