Abstract
A chemically induced premature chromosome condensation technique with Calyculin-A has been employed to estimate the initial chromosome damage in HepG2 condensed in G2 phase and the percentage of aberrant cells after exposure to γ-rays. The results show that the dose-response for iso-chromatid breaks is linear-quadratic manner, while chromatid-type breaks and total chromatid breaks show a positive linear dose-response. The percent tages of all kinds of aberrant cells are increasing linearly with increasing doses. G2 chromatid-type breaks and the percentage of G2 chromatid-type aberrant cells are predominate in G2 total chromatid breaks induced b y γ-rays.
