Abstract excerpt
Scid mice, which have a defect in the capacity to repair DNA double-strand breaks, were highly prone to the induction of thymic lymphomas after exposure to ionizing radiation; approximately 70% of mice developed lymphomas within 1 year after exposure to 1-3 Gy, whereas approximately 20% of unirradiated control mice developed lymphomas. To gain information on the possible role of Ras activation in development of...
