title: In vitro studies on lysosomes radiosensitivity in different gaseous atmospheres.
abstract: Radiosensitivity of lysosomes was investigated in vitro in different gaseous atmospheres. Results show a higher sensitivity when X-irradiation was performed in nitrous oxide. Possible reasons for this observation are considered.
