Post-Irradiation Time and Dose-Response Studies on the Incorporation of P 32 into DNA of Mouse Tissues

Abstract

The pioneering studies of Hevesy's group (1), demonstrating that irradiation inhibits deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis in the organs of rats, have evoked considerable interest and speculation among radiobiologists. The original observations have been substantially confirmed by numerous workers utilizing the varied DNA precursors now available, such as P32 (2-7), glycine-1-C14 (8), adenine-4-6-C
