Abstract
Dose-response for micronuclei in cytokinesis-blocked lymphocytes after in vitro irradiation of whole blood from 3 donors with Co-60 gamma-ra ys in the range 0-5.0 Gy was established. The numerical relationship b etween radiation induced chromosomal aberrations, and micronuclei is a lso examined. An increased frequency of micronuclei following low dose s of gamma-irradiation is reported from a study of 41 radiation worker s.
