The aims of the study were to establish the kinetics of the early adaptive response and to determine the minimum adaptive dose of gamma rays capable of inducing this response. The minimum adaptive dose was determined by exposing groups of five BALB/c male mice to an adaptive dose of 0.005 or of 0.02 Gy γ rays from a 137Cs source and challenge with 1.0 Gy 60 min later. The kinetics of adaptive response...
