A cytokinesis-blocked micronucleus study of the radioadaptive response of lymphocytes of individuals occupationally exposed to chronic doses of radiation
1 Jan 1998
Abstract excerpt
Human lymphocytes pre-exposed to very low doses of ionizing radiation show an adaptive response, which make these cells less sensitive to subsequent higher exposures. To verify the hypothesis that a similar phenomenon can be induced by occupationally (in vivo) received doses of ionizing radiation, the cytogenetic responses of 24 medical radiation workers to 1 and 2 Gy gamma-irradiation in comparison with 13...
