Figure 3. Immunofluorescence staining and Image analysis of γ-H2AX, phospho-ATM, phospho-Chk2, and phospho-p53 4 hr after irradiation in<br />

A549 cells irradiated with 2 Gy proton beam or 2 Gy γ-radiation. Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized in 0.25% Triton X-100,<br />

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

Probe 488 secondary antibody (green) and cells were mounted with ProLong Gold antifede with DAPI (blue). All images were captured using<br />

Carl Zeiss confocal microscope with the same exposure time. (A)–(D) shows the comparison of phosphorylation between 2 Gy proton beam<br />

and 2 Gy γ-radiation of [(A) H2AX, (B) ATM, (C) Chk2, (D) p53]. (E) Graph represents relative phosphorylation of H2AX, ATM, Chk2, and p53 as<br />

determined by ImageJ software. At least 100 cells per experiment were analyzed from three independent experiments. Data represents means<br />

± SE of three independent experiments, significantly different from unirradiated controls. ∗ p < .05, ∗∗ p < .01.<br />
