Abstract excerpt
Severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice carry a germ-line mutation in DNA-PK, associated with deficiency in recognition and repair DNA double-strand breaks. Thus, SCID cells and tissues display increased sensitivity to radiation-induced postmitotic (clonogenic) cell death. Nonetheless, the single-radiation doses required for 50% permanent local control (TCD(50)) of tumors implanted in SCID mice are not...
