Abstract

X-irradiation (500 rads) was found to enhance the aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) activity of three cell lines. Radiation followed by induction with benz (a) anthracene (5-15 μg/ml) produced a synergistic effect on AHH. These effects were highly significant and were observed most dramatically with a hamster tumor cell line, A(Tl)Cl-3,a nd to a lesser extent in secondary hamsters embryo cells and mouse C3H/10T 1 2 CL8 cells.
