The relationship of lysosomal stability to radiation-induced delay of cell division in Tetrahymena pyriformis

Creator:: Hodge, Frederick Allen
Abstract:: Cell division in a heat synchronized Tetrahymena pyriformis (GL-I) cell can be delayed if the cell is exposed to X-irradiation (300 kVp, 20 mA, HVL = 0. 9 mm Cu, 25 R/ sec) prior to a critical time after the end of the synchronizing treatment (EST). At the critical time,...
