Description

Microdosimetric data are presented indicating the possibility of a selective action of ionizing radiation on the chromosomal matterial of cells using low-energy electrons and photoelectrons formed, as the result of the photoeffect, on the incorporated or native atoms inside DNA upon irradiation with low-energy quantum radiation (''X-activating'' effect). A presumed biological effectiveness of the ''X-activating'' effect on B-16 melanocarcinoma, with bromine and iodine incorporated into the DNA molecule, was estimated
