title: In vitro dose-response curve for chromosome aberrations induced in human lymphocytes by 60Co gamma-radiation.
abstract: A dose-response curve has been obtained for the induction of chromosome aberrations in human lymphocytes from blood acutely irradiated with 60Co gamma-rays in a dose range of 0.098-4.89 Gy. This curve has been used for biological dose estimation for 21 cases of known or suspected accidental overexposure of Turkish radiation workers.
