Radioadaptation for gene mutation and the possible molecular mechanisms of the adaptive response.

Mutation research - 4 Nov 1996

Rigaud O, Moustacchi E

Abstract excerpt

This paper reviews the experimental results showing that a prior exposure to a low dose of ionising radiation induces an adaptive response expressed as a reduction of gene mutation in various cell systems. The data show that the mutagenic adaptation shares common features with the clastogenic ada...
