title: [Radiation sensitivity of aerated and hypoxic clonogenic cells of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma].
abstract: The authors presented comparative results on the survival of ascitic Ehrlich's carcinoma (AEC) clonogenic cells during exposure to 60Co gamma-beam radiation under the hypoxic and oxygenated conditions in vitro. A well-known method of hypoxia induction in dense cell suspensions by way of forced cell precipitation into a dense precipitate by a short-term suspension centrifugation was modified. Radiosensitivity of such hypoxic cells was characterized by a DO value of 6.59 +/- 0.29 Gy, and that of well oxygenated cells by 2.06 +/- 0.05 Gy. The oxygen enhancement ratio, determined as a ratio of DO values for hypoxic and oxygenated cells, was 3.2.
