Premature chromosome condensation in irradiated man.
Micronuclei and premature chromosome condensation previously described in mammalian cells exposed to different types of irradiation and chemicals in vitro or in vivo could be demonstrated in cultured lymphocytes derived from chronically low-dose irradiated persons. The usefulness of these findings for biological recording of irradiation effects is suggested.
