Abstract
IN several systems of animal cells in tissue culture, irradiation with either X- or gamme-rays progressively reduces the ability to produce virus (that is, the ‘capacity’) until it is between 1 and 10 per cent of the capacity of non-irradiated control cultures. The remaining capacity is less radiosensitive, so that a graph depicting residual capacity of the test population as a function of radiation dose tends to level off1–3.
