Title: Studies of ionizing radiation as a promoter of neoplastic transformation in vitro.

Authors: Little, J B; Vetrovs, H

Published In Int J Radiat Biol Relat Stud Phys Chem Med, (1988 Apr)

Abstract: The induction of malignant transformation was examined in a standard promotion protocol in which BALB/3T3 cells were incubated continuously with tritiated water (3HOH) following acute treatment with various doses of either X-rays or benzo(a)pyrene (BP). In no case was there any evidence that protracted exposure to ionizing radiation from 3HOH enhanced the yield of transformants induced by the primary carcinogen over that predicted if the effects of the two agents were additive.
