Figure 4From: The biological effect of 125I seed continuous low dose rate irradiation in CL187 cellsEffect of 125I low dose rate irradiation on the cell cycle in CL187 cells. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that the G2/M phase increased by 2 Gy (B)125I irradiation dose as compared with untreated control cells (A). After 5 Gy irradiation (C), a sharp increase in the fraction of cells in the G2/M phase was observed. The result in 10 Gy irradiation groups (D) was lower than that in group C, but sustained at a relatively high level. Compared with untreated control cells, P < 0.05 were found in all of the treated groups.Back to article page
