Abstract
WORK on the mechanism of the radiation effect upon the synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid in human bone marrow cells in vitro indicated a biphasic X-ray dose-response curve1. To test the applicability of these findings to other mammalian cell systems, similar work has been carried out with mouse Ehrlich ascites tumour cells; this system also has the advantage of being a more homogeneous cell population than bone marrow.
