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

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 adaptation, i.e., priming dose level, kinds of conditioning agents, time interval between conditioning and challenging...
