MOLECULAR RADIOBIOLOGY OF HUMAN CELL LINES. I. COMPARATIVE SENSITIVITY TO X-RAYS AND ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT OF CELLS CONTAINING HALOGEN-SUBSTITUTED DNA

Journal Article · · Biochem. Biophys. Research Communs.
The incorporation of 5-halogenated thymidine analogs, 5-bromo- or 5- iododesoxyuridine into desoxyribonucleic acid of mammalian cells in tissue culture increased their sensitivity to ultraviolet light and also to x rays. Data are presented graphically and the molecular mechanism of the radiosensitizing effects of halogenated thymidine analogs is discussed. (C.H.)
