Abstract

Phytohemagglutinin stimulated human lymphocytes exhibit a 20 fold increase in DNA repair synthesis following ionizing radiation damage compared to the level of repair in unstimulated cells. The peak of repair synthesis coincides with that for DNA replication. Stimulated lymphocytes provide a relatively simple assay for ionizing radiation repair defects.
