R is the reference frequency distribution chosen against which the test set is compared. D is the set containing the frequency distributions D15, D30, D60, D120, and D300. S is the frequency distribution of the stimulated, not repair-activated cells corresponding to the starting frequency distribution at t = 0. U is the frequency distribution of the quiescent (nonstimulated) cells, and T the theoretical, random frequency distribution. The plus symbol (+) designates that the corresponding distribution is not distinguishable from the reference distribution R. The minus symbol (−) indicates significant difference to reference distribution (p = 0.05). n means not applicable since the corresponding distribution does not appear in the test set. All other members of the test set not mentioned differ significantly from the reference distribution (for details see text).
