Acid extracellular environment inhibits the fixation of radiation damage

Creators

Description

This study illustrates that an acidic, extracellular environment after irradiation inhibits the fixation of radiation damage. The protective effect is not transient. The half time for fixation of acid modified damage is 7 min while the halftime for its repair is 10 min. These values are similar to those obtained when cells are held at 50C, 200C, or in anisotonic salt solutions after irradiation. 23 references, 4 figures, 2 tables
