Abstract
The induction of reciprocal translocations in spermatogonial stem cells of marmosets ( Callithrix jacchus) was studied after irradiation with different doses X-rays (50, 100 and 200 rad) via spermatocyte analysis many cell generations later. The obtained results show a dose-effect relationship with clear saturation effects at 200 rad. The recorded frequencies of translocations were much lower than those reported for closely related marmosets ( Saguinus fuscicollis and Saguinos oedipus). Possible reasons for this difference are discussed.
