Summary
The variation of X-ray sensitivity was investigated during the cell cycle. The cells were most sensitive during the S phase and less sensitive during the G2- and G1 phase. Furthermore, the repair of X-ray damage was investigated in stationary (plateau phase) cells. The cells of both lines were able to repair damage to nearly the same extent.
Zusammenfassung
Die Variation der Strahlensensibilität während des Zellcyclus wurde untersucht. Die Zellen reagierten am sensibelsten in der S-Phase, weniger sensibel in der G2-und G1-Phase. Weiterhin wurde die Reparation von Strahlenschäden bei stationären (Plateauphase-)Zellen untersucht. Die Zellen beider Linien sind in etwa gleichem Maße reparationsfähig.
