Serum Serotonin Levels Determine the Magnitude and Type of Bystander Effects in Medium Transfer Experiments
Abstract
Serotonin has been shown to be involved in the production of bystander signals by irradiated cells. In this study we examined the levels of serotonin in 10 different batches of commercially available fetal calf serum and correlated the serotonin levels with the toxicity of medium harvested from irradiated cells (ICCM) using a standard medium transfer colony-forming assay. The serotonin levels in the serum varied widely between batches, and the …
