Popis: We studied quantitative yield of residual (24 h post-irradiation) phosphorylated histone (γH2AX) foci as a marker of DNA double strand breaks in wild-type A549 and p53-deficient H1299 human lung carcinoma cells after exposure to subpicosecond (energy 4 MeV, pulse duration 400 fsec, peak dose rate during the pulse 16 GGy/s) and quasi-continuous (energy 3.6 MeV) beams of accelerated electrons in a dose range of 0.5-10.0 Gy. The efficiency of pulse irradiation in A549 and H1299 cells assessed by the yield of residual foci was higher than the efficiency of quasi-continuous exposure by 1.8 and 5.3 times, respectively. Significant differences in quantitative yield of residual γH2AX foci between wild-type and p53-deficient cell lines were observed only after exposure to subpicosecond, but not quasi-continuous beams of accelerated electrons.
