THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE OXYGEN EFFECT ON CHROMOSOME BREAKAGE BY IONIZING RADIATION

Journal Article · · Strahlentherapie, Sonderbaende
OSTI ID:4150558
The radiation-induced breakage of chromosomes is considered in relation to the presence or absence of oxygen during irradiation and the factor of LET. It is shown how such data provide, in principle at least, critical tests of some of the proposed mechanisms by which chromosome aberrations are produced and thus have a bearing on the problem of chromosome duplication.
