[Native protein activated by low doses of gamma radiation as a source of secondary biogenic radiation].
If is demonstrated that native protein of egg-white after being gamma-irradiated with law doses is able to stimulate transition of cells of remote biological detector from non-cycling state to proliferation even if irradiated protein is separated from detector by quartz-glass. Animal tissues which have a high protein content (freshly cut hair; insect bodies) reveal the same ability. The role of natural background radiation in the maintenance of energy excitation, state of living tissue proteins is discussed.
