Iodoacetate (IA) is a known tumour promoter of moderate potency. Present study reports the effect of IA post-treatment on 60 Co gamma radiation induced chromosomal aberrations in human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Cells were exposed to 2 or 4 Gy of radiation and were cultured in the presence of 0.25-2.5 μg/ml IA. It was observed that IA reduced radiation induced dicentrics yield significantly at both the radiation doses. |
