The radiosensitization of Chinese hamster V79 cells in vitro by air and misonidazole at low X-ray doses (0·2-6·0 Gy) had been studied. These survival data, together with high-dose data, were fitted to the linear quadratic model ln S = -(αD + βD2), deriving estimates of α and β by six different methods to illustrate the influence of the statistical treatment on the values so derived. This in vitro study clearly demonstrated that the survival parameters α and β are dependent to some degree on the method of analysis of the raw survival data; however, their ratios, the values of oxygen enhancement ratios (OERs) and radiosensitizer enhancement ratios (SERs) derived from the different methods, are similar. All methods of analysis give reduced OERs at low radiation doses for combined low- and high-dose X-ray data. However, the OERs are still appreciably high, ranging from 2·45 to 2·50 for an oxic dose of 2 Gy. All methods of analysis gave reduced SERs at low doses for combined low and high X-ray dose data for hypoxic cells irradiated in 1 mmol dm-3 misonidazole. At survival levels corresponding to doses of 2 Gy in the presence of 1 mmol dm-3 misonidazole and SERs ranged from 1·2 to 1·5. |
