  1. Survival parameters were obtained from linear-quadratic model fitting of cell survival curves. The LD50 values correspond to the mean ± standard deviation of the indicated independent experiments, performed in triplicate. *p < 0.05 compared to SAR-OS and MNNG/HOS cells Abbreviations: LD50 - median lethal dose, α - probability of occurrence of a double-strand break induced by one ionizing particle, β - probability of two single-strand breaks combine and form a double-strand break, α/β - dose corresponding to the probability of occurrence of a double-strand break and the combination of two single-strand breaks be the same, R2 - Adjusted R-squared.
