Abstract
Before or after treatment with sulfur mustard, simple changes in the incubation conditions of cultured Chinese hamster cells lead to changes as great as a factor of 6 in survival-curve slopes. With x-ray treatment, changes are similar but much smaller in magnitude. These results suggest that the modes of action of these agents are not entirely the same.Keywords
