Heavy‐ion‐induced bystander killing of human lung cancer cells: Role of gap junctional intercellular communication
18 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
The aim of the present study was to clarify the mechanisms of cell death induced by heavy-ion irradiation focusing on the bystander effect in human lung cancer A549 cells. In microbeam irradiation, each of 1, 5, and 25 cells under confluent cell conditions was irradiated with 1, 5, or 10 particles of carbon ions (220 MeV), and then the surviving fraction of the population was measured by a clonogenic assay in...
