Alterations in the Progression of Cells through the Cell Cycle after Exposure to Alpha Particles or Gamma Rays

Abstract excerpt

A G1-phase delay after exposure to alpha particles has not been report ed previously, perhaps because immortalized cell lines or cell lines from tumor cells were used in past studies. Therefore, we compared the effects of alpha particles (0.19 or 0.57 Gy) and approximately equitoxic doses of gamma rays (2 or 4 Gy) on progression of cells through the cell cycle in normal human skin fibroblasts. Cell cycle analyses...
