A Comparison of Mutation Induced by Acute X and Chronic Gamma Irradiation in Mice
Journal Article
·
· British Journal of Radiology
An experiment is described in which male mice received, in one group, an x-ray dose of 600 r given at a high doserate and, in a second group, a dose of 600 r of Co/sup 60/ gamma rays given at a low dose-rate. Spermatogonial specific locus mutation rates were studied. The induced mutation rate was significantly lower in the chronically irradiated group. A significant difference in the mutability of the d-locus was found between experiments carried out at Harwell and the acute x-ray experiments reported by Russell and Russell (1959).
