The enhancement ratios for hyperbaric oxygen (O/sub 2/3ATA) and for misonidazole (0.3 mg/g body wt) for fractionated irradiation (5 or 10 equal doses) of two spontaneous tumors and of normal skin of the C3H mouse have been determined. Acute skin reactions were scored for mice irradiated 18 days after plucking hair from the leg. Enhancement ratios for the TCD/sub 50/ values were virtually the same for O/sub 2/3ATA and misonidazole, 1.45 to 1.55. For acute skin reaction the enhancement ratio was higher for O/sub 2/3ATA, i.e., 1.94 vs 1.54 for misonidazole.
