title: Cytotoxic and genetic effects of X-irradiation of human cells in the presence of chlorpromazine.
abstract: Human epidermoid carcinoma cells (Hep-2) were X-irradiated in the presence of 5-10 micrograms/ml of chlorpromazine (CPZ). Survival of the cells decreased with increasing CPZ concentration. Lymphocytes from three normal volunteers exposed to X-irradiation in the presence of CPZ showed an increased frequency of dicentric and ring formation.
