title: The effect of combined treatment of hypoxic L5178Y-R and L5178Y-S cells with lidocaine and X-rays.
abstract: Combination of lidocaine (6 mg/ml) and X-rays was used for treatment of two strains of L5178Y lymphoma cells under hypoxic conditions. The strains L5178Y-S (radiosensitive) and L5178Y-R (radioresistant) differ in radiosensitivity by a factor of about 1.4 whereas they are equally sensitive to lidocaine. For combined treatment of L5178Y-R cells the enhancement ratio was 1.4 and for that of L5178Y-S cells 1.0. Cell partition between two aqueous polymer phases [Dextran T500 and poly(ethylene glycol) 6000] does reflect neither viability nor the commitment of treated cells to interphase or reproductive death.
