Abstract
The effect of X-irradiation has been assessed on cultivated bovine lens epithelial cells by analysis of the DNA sedimentation in alkaline sucrose gradient and compared with bovine fibroblasts. (1) It can be concluded that for the same irradiation, DNA from both sources were broken to the same extent; (2) the rate of DNA repair was similar for both types of cells. The relation between these results and the fact that X-ray induces cataract very easily in the lens is discussed.
