Response of V79 cells to low doses of X-rays and negative-mesons: clonogenic survival and DNA strand breaks

Abstract: Mammalian cells are hypersensitive to very low doses of X-rays (< 0.2 Gy), a response which is followed by increased radioresistance up to 1 Gy. Increased radioresistance is postulated to be a response to DNA damage, possibly single-strand breaks, and it appears to be a characteristic of low linear energy transfer (LET) radiation. Here we demonstrate a correspondence between the extent of the increased radioresistance and linear energy transfer of 250 kVp X-rays and plateau and Bragg peak negative pi-mesons. T… Show more

“…Firstly, the fact that HRS occurring at the low dose range 100-300 mGy followed by the induction of radioresistance (IRR) was interpreted as being linked to a low-dose adaptive phenomenon: the initial very low dose subsequently induced the repair of IR induced DNA strand breaks yielding radiation resistance (IRR) [153,[161][162][163].…”
