Abstract

Mouse cells UV-irradiated with doses of 0–72 J/m 2 were fused with unirradiated Chinese hamster cells, and the chromosome constitutions of cell hybrids were examined. The number of mouse chromosomes retained by hybrids decreased with UV dose, and, unexpectedly, the number of hamster chromosomes also decreased in a dose-dependent manner. It is suggested that some component contributed by the irradiated mouse parent cell has indirectly induced damage and loss of hamster chromosomes.
