RESULTS<br />

Fig.3.2.3 Immunofluorescence staining and Image analysis of γ-H2AX, phospho-ATM, phospho-Chk2<br />

and phospho-p53 4h after irradiation in A 549 cells irradiated with 2Gy Proton Beam or 2Gy γ-radiation.<br />

Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized in 0.25% Triton X-100 and labeled with specific<br />

antibodies as described in “Materials and Methods”. Each phospho-site antibody was indirectly labeled<br />

with Molecular Probe 488 secondary antibody (green) and cells were mounted with ProLong Gold<br />

antifede with DAPI (blue). All images were captured using Carl Zeiss confocal microscope with the same<br />

exposure time. Comparison of phosphorylation between 2Gy Proton beam and 2Gy γ-radiation of (A)<br />

H2AX, (B) ATM, (C) Chk2, (D) p53. (E) Graph represents relative phosphorylation of H2AX, ATM,<br />

Chk2 and p53 as determined by ImageJ software. At least 100 cells per experiment were analyzed from<br />

three independent experiments. Data represents means ± SE of three independent experiments;<br />

significantly different from unirradiated controls: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.<br />
