    Abstract:
    The dose-effect dependence of cytogenetic damage after single dose irradiation in the dose range of 0.1-2 Gy and the adaptive response after double-dose irradiation were studied on Chinese hamster and human melanoma cells in culture. The non-linear dose dependencies were found for the induction of chromosome aberrations with decrease in cell radiosensitivity in the definite dose range. This decrease started at 10 and 20 cGy for melanoma and Chinese hamster cells respectively. The maximal adaptive response was induced at 1 cGy for melanoma cells and at 20 cGy for Chinese hamster cells. It can be supposed that the same inducible repair processes are responsible for non-linearity of dose-effect curves and induction of the adaptive response. These processes are similar in mechanisms and different in quantitative proportion for different cell types.
