title: [Toxic effects of heavy metal salts on intact and irradiated cultured mammalian cells].
abstract: The toxicity of solutions of K2Cr2O7 and NiSO4.8H2O for cultivated Chinese hamster fibroblasts and murine lymphoma Sp-2 cells was determined using three criteria of damage: cell death (dyeing with trypan blue), inhibition of cell proliferation and their colony-forming activity. It was shown that both salts have equal toxicity in (10(-3)-10(-2)) M interval for both culture investigated relative to inhibition of cell proliferation. The threshold of toxicity of K2Cr2O7 relative to reproductive cell death (10(-4) M is smaller than to the inhibition of cell proliferation. The nontoxic concentration of K2Cr2O7 enhanced the radiation-induced reproductive death of fibroblast culture at doses 2 and 4 Gy.
