a, Breast tumors from MMTV-Wnt-1 mice were irradiated in vivo with 3 × 5 Gy or 5 × 2 Gy. Percentage of Thy1+CD24+Lin- cells in untreated and irradiated tumors were quantified by flow cytometry 72 hours after the last fraction was delivered. b, Mean ± s.e.m. for replicates of a (n=6; p=0.008). c, First generation xenografts established from two different primary human head and neck cancers were irradiated in vivo with 2 × 3 Gy. Percentage of CD44+Lin- cells was quantified as above.
