Delayed cell death and bystander effects in the progeny of Chinook Salmon Embryo cells exposed to radiation and a range of aquatic pollutants

PURPOSE: To determine whether delayed and bystander effects can be seen in both a non malignant teleost fish cell line, (CHSE) and a malignant teleost fish cell line (EPC) when exposed to low doses of ionising radiation and genotoxic pollutants. METHODS: Teleost fish cells were briefly exposed to radiation and chemical toxins at low doses. Clonogenic survival was measured in the exposed population and the distant progeny of exposed cells to …
