A Dose Threshold for a Medium Transfer Bystander Effect for a Human Skin Cell Line
Abstract
The existence of radiation-induced bystander effects mediated by diffusible factors is now accepted, but the mechanisms and precise behavior at low doses remain unclear. We exposed cells to gamma-ray doses in the range 0.04 mGy-5 Gy, harvested the culture medium, and transferred it to unirradiated reporter cells. Calcium fluxes and clonogenic survival were measured in the recipients. We show evidence for a dose threshold around 2 mGy for the …
