Evidence for a unique in situ component of the repair of radiation damage
Description
The survival of rat mammary gland cells irradiated in situ and allowed to remain in situ for 24 hr before assay by an in vivo transplantation method was assayed. The D0 was 122 rad, the N value was 23, and the D/sub q/ was 383 rad. When these parameters are compared to those of tissue that was removed immediately after irradiation, the former has a greater N and D/sub q/ but no significant difference in D0. Evidence is presented that these differences are due to a unique in situ form of th repair of potentially lethal radiation damage that we have termed in situ repair
