Figure 4.
Alkaline Comet assay measures of DNA damage formation (% Tail DNA) in whole-blood peripheral blood lymphocytes (WB-PBL) following 20 Gy CONV or FLASH irradiation at 21 or 0.5% O2, after treatment of WB-PBL with buthionine sulfoximine (BSO). Data are expressed as the mean % Tail DNA of three slides (n = 3). Error bars indicate standard deviation of the means for each experimental condition. Statistical significance (two-tailed unpaired t-test) is indicated with *, where * is p < 0.05 and *** is p < 0.001, non-significant (ns) is p > 0.05.
