Radiation-induced breaks of DNA in cultured mammalian cells

Radiation-induced breaks of DNA in cultured mammalian cells

W Veatch et al. Biophys J. 1969 Mar.

Abstract

Mouse leukemic cells (L5178Y) in suspension culture were irradiated and the extent of single-strand breaks and double-strand cuts of DNA was estimated by sucrose gradient centrifugation. The radiation produced 3.0 single-strand breaks per cell (G(1) stage) per rad and approximately 0.3 double-strand breaks per cell (G(1) stage) per rad.
