Increased radiation lethality was observed in HeLa cells when irradiation was followed by two hours of incubation at 41/sup o/C in the presence of 1 mM procaine hydrochloride. The increase of radiation lethality produced by this combination was significantly higher than that produced by hyperthermia alone. Two hours of incubation with procaine at 37/sup o/C had no effect on the survival of irradiation cells.
