Description/Abstract:
LESS THAN OPTIMUM CONDITIONS WITH REGARD TO CELL DIVISION AFTER X- IRRADIATION PROVIDE THE NECESSARY ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH MAMMALIAN CELLS CAN REPAIR POTENTIALLY LETHAL RADIATION DAMAGE. THE KINETICS OF REPAIR SUGGEST THAT, DURING THE REPAIR PROCESS, A TRANSIENT, UNSTABLE CELLULAR STATE OCCURS WHICH PREVENTS CELL DIVISION IN COMPLETE GROWTH MEDIUM. THE CAPACITY FOR REPAIR APPEARS TO BE DEPENDENT ON CELL AGE.
