Abstract
The combined action of ultraviolet and ionizing radiation on yeast and mammalian cells with regard to killing and mutation induction are reviewed. In most cases a positive interaction is found which takes place at the level of repair processes since the extent depends on genetically determined repair capacities. This type of study may, therefore, help unravel the complexities of repair systems in eukaryotic cells.
