Radiation-induced Gene Mutation in Adult Female and Foetal Male Mice
Journal Article
·
· British Journal of Radiology
Two experiments are reported in which foetal male mice were exposed to acute x irradiation and adult females to chronic r irradiation. In each case the induced mutation rate of seven specific genes was lower than that observed by W. L. Russell following acute x irradiation of the adult male. There are important implications for radiation protection if these relationships hold good for man also.
