  • Title: Study on the variation in X-ray sensitivity of human diploid skin fibroblasts. Normal radiosensitivity of cells derived from patients with Huntington's disease.
    Author: Beverstock GC, Simons JW.
    Journal: Mutat Res; 1982 Sep; 96(1):75-87. PubMed ID: 6214711.
    Abstract:
    9 cell strains derived from patients with Huntington's disease and 9 from age- and sex-matched controls were investigated for X-ray sensitivity. No differences in radiosensitivity were observed for the two groups. The two groups taken together reveal a dependence of radiosensitivity on intrinsic cloning efficiency which in turn correlates with donor age. A difference in radiosensitivity between males and females is also indicated although at the borderline of significance. As a parameter for radiosensitivity the dose needed to obtain 0.1% survival appears superior to the Do.
