Radiation Protection of Tissue Culture Cells by Anoxia, Cysteamine and a Combination of Anoxia and Cysteamine

Radiation Protection of Tissue Culture Cells by Anoxia, Cysteamine and a Combination of Anoxia and Cysteamine

IN the recent literature 1,2 it has been emphasized that the problem whether the radioprotective action of a group of sulphydryl compounds as cysteine and cysteamine is based on the removal of oxygen or is caused by another mode of action on the cellular level is still not solved. In this communicat...

Zusammenfassung:IN the recent literature 1,2 it has been emphasized that the problem whether the radioprotective action of a group of sulphydryl compounds as cysteine and cysteamine is based on the removal of oxygen or is caused by another mode of action on the cellular level is still not solved. In this communication we present evidence in support of the latter hypothesis.
