Abstract excerpt
A recently developed dose-survival assay using human G0 T lymphocytes from peripheral blood was employed to assess possible interindividual variation of cellular radiosensitivity by comparing variability between a single test for different individuals and repeated tests for a single donor. The surviving fraction at each X-ray dose level fluctuated similarly between the two groups, and the X-ray dose required to...
