RESULTS<br />

Fig. 3.3.2.1 Clonogenic Cell Survival of A549 cells irradiated with 1, 2 or 3Gy Oxygen beam or<br />

γ-radiation. Data represents means ± SD of three independent experiments.<br />

3.3.2.2. Numbers of initial γ-H2AX foci formed for both types of radiation<br />

Since DNA double strand breaks are the primary toxic lesions induced by radiation, the number<br />

of double strand breaks were scored by examining the foci of phosphorylated H2AX in irradiated<br />

cells. After 15 minutes of either radiation, γ-H2AX foci, visualized as bright spots, were present<br />
