    Effects of X-rays on RNA and RNA metabolism in HeLa cells

    The effect of X-rays on RNA and RNA metabolism has been studied. 1. 1. When prelabelled cells were irradiated, RNA was radiosensitive when it had just been formed. The nucleolar RNA seemed more sensitive than that of the rest of the nucleus. 2. 2. When irradiated cells were incubated in [3H]cytidine, the uptake of the label in RNA was considerably more depressed for short incubation times, indicating that the damage to the mechanism of RNA synthesis can be repaired. 3. 3. When prelabelled cells were irradiated and then transferred to a non-radioactive medium, the transfer of label from nuclear to cytoplasmic RNA was also inhibited. © 1964.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
