Abstract

The effect of irradiating V-79 Chinese hamster cells with a mixture of 40% 14.8-MeV neutrons and 60% /sup 69/Co photons with simultaneous or sequential exposures is investigated. Sample doses are obtained by irradiating cells with alternating 3-min pulses of neutrons and photons (in the sequential case) or with mixed neutrons and photons followed by equal beam-off periods to ensure equal total exposure times for sequential and simultaneous irradiations. Differences between the survival results under each beam configuration that are consistent with previous observations with nonpulsed irradiations are observed.

Effect of pulsed dose in simultaneous and sequential irradiation of V-79 cells by 14. 8 MeV neutrons and /sup 60/Co photons

Technical Report Higgins, P; DeLuca, Jr, P; Gould, M; ...

The effect of irradiating V-79 Chinese hamster ovary cells with a mixture of 40% 14.8-MeV neutrons and 60% /sup 60/Co photons with simultaneous or sequential exposures is investigated. Target doses are obtained by irradiating cell samples with 3-minute-long pulses of alternating neutrons and photons (in the sequential case) or with mixed neutrons and photons followed by equal beam-off periods to insure equal total-exposure times for sequenced and simultaneous irradiations. We observe qualitative differences between the survival results under each beam configuration that confirms earlier observations.
V79 survival following simultaneous or sequential irradiation by 14. 8-MeV neutrons and /sup 60/Co photons

Technical Report Higgins, P; DeLuca, Jr, P; Pearson, D; ...

A unique tandem source irradiation facility, comprised of an intense d-T neutron source and a /sup 60/Co teletherapy unit, has been used to investigate biological response for different neutron/photon configurations. V79 Chinese hamster cells, attached as monolayers in log phase growth, were irradiated at 37/sup 0/C by either 14.8 MeV neutrons, /sup 60/Co or by a mixture of 40% neutrons - 60% photons in simultaneous or sequential application. Measurements of cell survival indicate an increased effectiveness in cell killing for simultaneously administered neutrons and photons than was measured or predicted for sequentially applied beam modalities.

Comments on ''V79 survival following simultaneous or sequential irradiation by 15-MeV neutrons and /sup 60/Co photons'' by Higgins et al. (Radiat. Res. 95, 45-56(1983))

Journal Article Zaider, M; Brenner, D - Radiat. Res.; (United States)

In a recent paper Higgins et al. reported survival data for V79 Chinese hamster cells exposed simultaneously or sequentially to 15-MeV neutrons and /sup 60/Co photons. In each case the results showed the combined modality to be more effective at cell killing than would be expected from the simple multiplication of the effects due to each radiation alone. Thus the effects of the two radiations are synergistic. In addition, simultaneous exposures yielded lower surviving fractions than sequential ones. Both these results are easy to understand, at least qualitatively, if the concepts of sublethal damage and sublethal damage repair are used.more »« less
