  • Title: [Dose-response curves for the action of 6 MeV mean-energy neutrons on a human lymphocyte culture at different stages of the mitotic cycle].
    Author: Demina EA.
    Journal: Radiobiologiia; 1987; 27(3):357-61. PubMed ID: 3615817.
    Abstract:
    A linear component was predominant in the dose-response curve characterizing the radiosensitivity of human lymphocyte chromosomes after exposure to fast neutrons (E = 6 MeV) at different mitotic cycle stages. This was indicative of a single-hit mechanism of the formation of chromosome aberrations after the effect of 6 MeV neutrons. It is suggested that the plateau of the dose-response curve at the S-stage may be considered as an indication of repair of damages induced by neutrons at this stage.
