Estrogen enhanced cell-cell signalling in breast cancer cells exposed to targeted irradiation

BMC Cancer

Table 2 The predicted yield of MN and the measured yield of bystander MN in MCF-7 cells.

Fraction of irradiated cells	Predicted Y_MN		Bystander Y_MN
	1 ³He²⁺	5 ³He²⁺	1 ³He²⁺	5 ³He²⁺
1%	0.010	0.010	0.035 (25.8%)	0.057 (36.2%)
10%	0.114	0.124	0.067 (37.1%)	0.072 (36.7%)

A fraction of cells within the population, which had been treated with E2 for 24 h, were individually irradiated with a precise number of ³He²⁺ particles. Data in parentheses are the bystander MN as a percentage of total MN.
