Early Increase of Radiation-induced γH2AX Foci in a Human Ku70/80 Knockdown Cell Line Characterized by an Enhanced Radiosensitivity
1 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
A better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of DNA repair after exposure to ionizing radiation represents a research priority aimed at improving the outcome of clinical radiotherapy. Because of the close association with DNA double strand break (DSB) repair, phosphorylation of the histone H2AX protein (γH2AX), quantified by immunodetection, has recently been used as a method to study DSB induction and...
