In situ radiation response and oxygen enhancement ratio of KHT sarcoma cells in various phases of the cell cycle

  • 1. Rochester Univ., NY (USA). Cancer Center

Description

Studies were made of the γ-radiation response across the cell cycle of KHT sarcoma cells grown as solid tumours. The most radioresistant portion of the cell cycle was found to be late G1 and early S. G2M cells were always most radiosensitive. Complete radiation dose-response curves under oxic or anoxic conditions were also obtained for cells in all phases of the cell cycle. From these the oxygen enhancement ratio (OER) was calculated to be 2.4, 2.6 and 2.5 for cells in the G1, S and G2M cell cycle phases respectively. (author)
