The cytokinesis-blocked micronucleus assay: Dose estimation and inter-individual differences in the response to γ-radiation

The results obtained for the cytogenetic endpoints, studied in the same group of 16 individuals, were also analyzed as a function of age and gender. A higher inter-variability was observed for the higher dose points and differences in response were identified between genders, above 2 Gy, for all endpoints.
