Mutations-induction followed by selection is a suitable method for developing a cell line with resistance to low doses of X-rays. In comparison with the original cell line, the derived resistant line is characterized by an enhanced variability of the chromosome number, and no higher level of cellular repair, limited to the two repair types described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
