Effect of gamma-irradiation on lipid content and survival of human amnion cells in culture.
The neutral lipid content of Human Amnion cells in tissue culture, studied by cytophotometry, increases after irradiation with 60Co gamma-rays. Cells having an already elevated lipid content, induced by lipid pretreatments, become sensitized to irradiation as determined by cell survival and electrophoretic mobility studies.
