[Analysis of substances issuing from Zajdela ascitic hepatoma cells following exposure to UV radiation of different wavelength. II. Proton release].

The release of protein from the Zaidela ascitic hepatoma cells following irradiation with physiological doses of short-wave (254 nm) and long-wave (300--380 nm) UV light (far and near UV radiation) has been investigated. The amount of protein increases with dose making, upon the maximal radiation damage, 180 and 2 per cent of the protein against, resp., the protein amount releasing from non-treated cells and the total protein of the intact cell. The far UV light is by one order more efficient than the near UV light. Irradiation of cells with the former and the latter results in the release of high and low molecular proteins, resp. The near UV irradiation brings about heavier releasing of proteins than does the far UV light.
