✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Initial information since the releases of radioactive materials from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, in Japan, shows that some animal food products are contaminated with ^131^I (mostly milk) and, to a lesser extent with ^134^Cs and ^137^Cs. Current knowledge on the transfer of these radioisotopes to animal products and available relevant countermeasures and management options to reduce radiation doses to humans are summarized. Much of this knowledge was obtained during the years of global fallout from atmospheric nuclear weapons tests and the response to the Chernobyl accident, in Ukraine in 1986.

## Abstract The recent events at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, Japan, have raised questions about radiocesium (^137^Cs) transfer from soil to agricultural plants. This transfer has been studied extensively in Europe following the Chernobyl accident, in Soviet Ukraine in 1986. This arti

Methods which dissociate intramolecular noncovalent bonds have been used to prepare soluble derivatives of cell-surface antigens. Applications of these techniques to human colon carcinoma are underway. Continuous tissue-culture strains derived from primary lesions were developed and shown to be comp
