The apoptosis of SCCVII cells in vivo after irradiation. (A) Apoptotic cells are detected by TUNEL. The nuclei of apoptotic cells were stained brown as observed under light microscopy (magnification, × 400). (B) The treatment by irradiation in combination with ATM AS-ODNs injection enhanced the apoptotic rate of tumor cells. * P < 0.05, there was a significant difference in the AI of tumors treated with irradiation alone compared with the untreated group and the group treated with ATM AS-ODNs alone. ** P < 0.05, compared with the other groups.
