SYNOPSIS<br />

Aims and Objectives: To Study<br />

1. Fractionated irradiation induced signaling events. The contribution of<br />

these events to the increased cell survival.<br />

2. High LET induced signaling and variance from low LET gamma<br />

radiation.<br />

3. Contribution of radiation induced bystander effect to cell survival and its<br />

mechanism.<br />

CHAPTER 2: MATERIALS AND METHODS<br />

The second chapter lists the reagents and describes in detail the methods<br />

employed in this study. A brief summary of the same is given below.<br />

2.1 Chemicals and Reagents<br />

All fine chemicals used were from Sigma, USA. Primary antibodies were from<br />

Cell Signaling Technology, USA; Calbiochem, USA; Chemicon, USA; Santa Cruz<br />

Biotechnology, USA; Sigma, USA and Transduction Laboratories, USA.<br />

2.2 Cell Lines<br />

All the cell lines used in this study were cultured in 25 cm 2 / 75 cm 2 plastic flasks<br />

in the appropriate medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Sigma, USA.).<br />

Cells were kept at 37 0 C in humidified atmosphere with 5% CO 2 .<br />

Following are the list/table of the cell lines used in the experiments<br />

SN Cell line Description p53 status<br />

1 A549 Human Lung Adenocarcinoma Wild type<br />

2 MCF-7 Human breast adenocarcinoma Wild type<br />
