Radiosensitivity of mouse kidney cells determined with an in vitro colony method. [/sup 137/Cs]

Journal Article · · Int. J. Radiat. Oncol., Biol. Phys.; (United States)
A new method is described to measure the colony forming ability of mouse kidney cells in vitro. This method, which provides a mean plating efficiency of 7.9%, was used to study the intrinsic radiosensitivity of kidney cells irradiated in vivo. The observed radiosensitivity was found to be comparable to that of a large number of cells from various normal tissues.
