The radiobiological effects of heavy ions on mammalian cells and bacteria

Life Sci Space Res. 1973:11:247-59.

Abstract

The radiobiological effects of heavy ions have been studied in experiments with mouse corneal epithelium, liver cells of rats irradiated in vivo, and the bacterium Escherichia coli B. From exposure of E. coli B to radiations with different LET, the effectiveness of the modifying influence of anoxia and some other radioprotectors has been determined.
