title: Dose-response relationship for radiation-induced translocations in somatic and germ cells of mice.
abstract: Dose--response curves (0--600 rad X-rays) for induced reciprocal translocations in bone-marrow cells and in spermatogonia (scored in spermatocytes) of the mouse were constructed. The obtained results suggest that factors influencing aberration yields in somatic cells, are similar to those in germ cells and strengthen the premise for qualitative extrapolation from somatic cells to germ cells.
