Summary

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) fibroblasts were exposed or sham-exposed to inductively-generated 60-Hz, 3.1 V · m−1 fields for 24 h. The absolute plating efficiency of the cells was determined immediately following the field exposure/sham-exposure, and after one week of post-exposure incubation. One-way analyses of variance performed on replicate experimental treatment means indicated no treatment effect on cell colony-forming ability.
