title: Mathematical description of the interactions between cellular inactivating agents.
abstract: A mathematical technique for characterizing the interactive effects that may occur when cells are treated with two or more toxic agents is developed. This technique is used to account for the previously unexplained properties of the dose-response relations for the uv-X-ray interaction in Escherichia coli B/r.
