Abstract
X-irradiation of liver segment of Amphiuma showed an inverse correlation between radiosensitivity of the melanocytes and their degree of pigmentation. The presence of polymelano-somes appears to be directly related to the radiosensitivity of the melanocytes.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
