Responses of two mammalian cell lines to low gamma-ray doses.
We have observed that low gamma-ray doses regularly improve the survival (plating efficiency) above that of unirradiated control cultures, which we postulate could arise through inducible DNA repair, and would have profound effects on the interpretation of cell culture experiments.
