Comparison of direct and bystander effects induced by ionizing radiation in eight fish cell lines

PURPOSE: To determine bystander and direct effects of ionizing radiation on eight fish cell lines. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fish cell lines were irradiated at a range of doses from 0.5 - 5 Gy. The Irradiated Cell Conditioned Medium (ICCM) was then harvested and placed onto a HPV-G, reporter cell line as well as onto autologous fish cell lines. Cloning efficiency (CE) was the end point used. The HPV-G reporter cell line was chosen because this …
