Radiosensitivity and Induction of Apoptosis by High LET Carbon Ion Beam and Low LET Gamma Radiation: A Comparative Study
Figure 2
Comet Assay for DNA breaks detection after 24 h postirradiation of carbon ion beam and gamma radiation. (a) Tail moment was measured in HeLa cells after irradiation with carbon ion beam and gamma radiation at different doses (0–4 Gy). (b) % of comet formation in carbon ion beam and gamma irradiated each of both cells HeLa and HsiI at various doses (0–4 Gy). Statistical significance level was calculated within carbon ion beam and gamma irradiated groups of each cell type and denoted by values. “*” means (), “**” means (), and “***” means ().
