Abstract

CONDITIONS of culture are well known to play an important part in determining the radiation response of micro-organisms. Mammalian cells grown in vitro only remain viable within a rather limited range of culture conditions and, perhaps for this reason, only a few reports are available of the radiobiological consequences of changing their culture conditions1–3.
