Influence of Tumor Cell and Stroma Sensitivity on Tumor Response to Radiation
1 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
In this study, we evaluated the role of tumor cell and tumor stroma sensitivity as determinants of radiation-induced tumor growth delay. A DNA double-strand break repair-defective DNA-PKcs(-/-) tumor cell line and its radioresistant DNA-PKcs(+/+)-transfected counterpart were used to initiate tumors in nude and hypersensitive severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice. Insertion of the human DNA-PKcs(+/+) gene...
