The mRNA expression of XRCC genes in ICR/JCL and 615 mice all increased to some extent after exposure 1, 2 and 4 Gy radiation. But the levels were significantly higher at 2h postirradiation (P < 0.05).
In this paper it is reported that the recovery from 6-12 Gy X-ray irradiation-induced potentially lethal damage (PLD) in plateau-phase V_ (79) cells, following incubation for 2-6h postirradiation was observed.
