[Induction of mutations resistant to 6-thioguanine by fast neutrons in cultured Chinese hamster cells]. 1985

T V Elisova, and T P Feoktistova

A study was made of induction of mutations, resistant to 6-thioguanine (TGr), and reproductive death of Chinese hamster cells after irradiation by fission-spectrum fast neutrons (mean energy of 0.75 MeV) with doses of 10-130 cGy. A high relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of fast neutrons was shown. The maximum RBE values (13-16) were within the dose range inducing minimum mutagenic and lethal effects. RBE decreased with the dose increase. Inspite of high mutagenic effectiveness of neutrons, estimated according to TGr mutation frequency per cell per dose unit, their relative mutagenic effectiveness, estimated per cell per one lethal event, did not substantially differ from that of X-radiation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D009502 Neutrons Electrically neutral elementary particles found in all atomic nuclei except light hydrogen; the mass is equal to that of the proton and electron combined and they are unstable when isolated from the nucleus, undergoing beta decay. Slow, thermal, epithermal, and fast neutrons refer to the energy levels with which the neutrons are ejected from heavier nuclei during their decay. Neutron
