Abstract
Sixteen clones were isolated from an early-passage human glioma cell line (IN859) and have been found to show variation in several biological characteristics including DNA content, modal chromosome number, and morphology. In addition, heterogeneity of radiosensitivity was detected: the doses that gave a surviving fraction of 0.01 varied by a factor of approximately 1.5. The most sensitive (clone 6) and the most resistant (clone 9) clones were selected for further study; their surviving fractions at 2Gy (SF2) were 0.37 and 0.64, respectively. When compared at a fixed radiation dose the sensitive clone surprisingly demonstrated greater split-dose recovery than the resistant clone; it also showed greater low dose-rate sparing.Entities:
