For total body irradiations, X-rays and high LET accelerated heavy ion irradiations including carbon, silicon, neon and iron particles were used. Significant suppression of mouse death in vivo and marked reduction of prenatal death and malformation in utero were used as criteria for judgment of a successful AR induction. In the past 6 years, nine combinations in the in utero studies and twenty-three combinations in the in vivo studies were performed. Results showed that induction of AR is an event depending on the LET or/and species of the ions. Generally, it is hardly to induce AR by X-rays against heavy ion irradiations with very high LET values, and high LET heavy ion irradiations hardly induce AR against X-rays or higher LET heavy ion irradiations. These findings are expected to contribute to the risk estimation, mechanism study, and practical applications to active induction of radioresistance and to cancer therapy with heavy ion irradiations.}, pages = {41--46}, title = {Induction of Adaptive Response in Mice in vivo and in utero.}, volume = {277}, year = {2015} }
