Abstract

Radioadaptive response in cells from three patients was studied by induction of structural chromosome aberrations. Radioadaptive response was revealed in lymphocytes of all three patients. Coefficient of protection was 59.0% and did not differ from this after cell pretreatment with interferon. It is suggested the similarity or identity of mechanism of radioadaptive response and of interferon antimutagenic action which was implemented by non-repair way.
