  1. Parameters of cell survival curves were calculated using a linear-quadratic model for surviving fraction, SF. = exp (-αd - βd2). α: number of logs of cells killed per gray from the linear portion of the survival curve; β: number of logs of cells killed per gray2 from the quadratic component. Three independent experiments were performed.
