Abstract excerpt
The survival of parental Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) K1 cells and the DNA double strand break (DSB) repair deficient mutant, xrs-5 was determined after accumulation of 125I decays. Both CHO and xrs-5 cells were extremely sensitive to accumulated 125I decays. The D0 values for CHO and xrs-5 cells were 40 and approximately 7 decays per cell, respectively. The difference in cell survival between CHO and xrs-5 cells...
