Interaction of high- and low-LET sublethal damage: effect on the reproductive capacity of cultured human cells

Description

The unique track segment and x-ray irradiation facilities available at RARAF provide an ideal opportunity to investigate the effects of high- and low-LET radiations delivered to cells with short time intervals between doses. In initial experiments to investigate the discrepancy between the response of rodent and human cells in vitro to mixed modality irradiation, cultured human kidney T-1 cells were exposed to 3He ions of well-defined LET (70, 90, or 140 keV/micron) followed five minutes later by graded doses of 50 kV x rays
