title: Repair of the sublethal and mutational damage induced by x-rays in Chinese hamster HAI cells in vitro.
abstract: The ability of Chinese hamster hai cells to repair damage related to cell death and mutational change induced by X-rays were examined by using a sensitive forward mutation system from prototrophic CH-hai Cl 23 cells to auxotrophs. The results obtained from the split dose experiments seem to suggest that Chinese hamster hai cells have the repair mechanisms for the sublethal and mutational damage induced by X-rays and that the repair mechanisms act in common for the repair of both cases of damage.
