Dose-dependences of the chromosomal aberrations induction in B14-150 cells were studied for carbon ions (E ∼455 MeV/nucleon) with different values of the linear energy transfer (LET): 10-12 keV/μm (proximal region of the Bragg curve - plateau) and 25-27 keV/μm (tail of the Bragg curve). It is shown that the level of chromosome aberrations was higher for irradiation at tail of carbon beam. The dose relations were described by a modified linear-quadratic model and had a similar character in the studied dose range of 0.05-2.5 Gy. A sharp increase of the chromosome aberrations yield at the dose range up to 0.1 Gy (hyper-radiosensitivity, HRS), slowdown in it at the range of 0.1-0.3 Gy (induced radioresistance, IRR) and a further its’ growth above 0.3 Gy were observed with a transformation to linear and linear-quadratic dependences. The results obtained agree with the known literature data and indicates the likeness of the biological effect of hyper-radiosensitivity and induced radioresistance (HRS/IRR) for different cell lines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
