The effects of chronic, low doses of Ra-226 on cultured fish and human cells

Abstract

PURPOSE: To determine the chronic low-dose radiation effects caused by α-particle radiation from (226)Ra over multiple cell generations in CHSE/F fish cells and HaCaT human cells. METHODS: CHSE/F cells and HaCaT cells were cultured in medium containing (226)Ra to deliver the chronic low-dose α-particle radiation. Clonogenic assay was used to test the clonogenic survival fractions of cells with or without being exposed to radiation from (226)Ra.
