Radiosensitization of a human cell line lacking repair replication

Conference ·
OSTI ID:4144991
A human cell line has been isolated that is deficient in x-ray-induced repair replication. The slope of the radiation survival curve is greater in the presence of the anthracycline antibiotic, adriamycin. The results suggest that radiosensitization by DNA-binding drugs is more probably related to DNA strand breakage phenomena than to the polymerase step of excision-repair. (auth)
