Micronuclei (MN) per 1000 binucleate (BN) cells in freshly isolated in situ skin fibroblasts of Lewis rats (9 weeks old) and humans plotted as a function of (equivalent) single dose. Rat fibroblasts were isolated 2 months after single-dose irradiation; human fibroblasts were isolated 49-65 days after fractionated irradiation (equivalent single dose was calculated using the linear-quadratic formula and assuming α/β = 10). Values for rat fibroblasts are plotted as means ± SE. Values for humans are for individual skin samples.
