Abstract excerpt
To investigate the mutagenic mechanisms of low-energy alpha particles V79 Chinese hamster cells were irradiated with 241Am-alpha particles (mean LET of 112 keV/micron). Parallel experiments were performed using 300 kV X-rays. Cell inactivation and mutation induction cross sections were measured. At approximately 20%--survival level, DNA deletions were analysed at the HPRT locus by multiplex-PCR-analysis of all...
