Abstract excerpt
X-ray-induced neoplastic transformation has been studied in Syrian hamster embryo cells. Unirradiated cells had a limited life span, whereas the irradiated cells escaped senescence, showed altered morphology, and acquired anchorage-independence and tumorigenicity in a stepwise manner during successive transfers after irradiation. Multiple genetic changes may be associated with the expression of various...
