Table 4.

Ratio of radiation sensitivity of parental or wild type cells over that of radiosensitive mutants or cells with reduced Ku70/80 activity. Radiation dose to reduce surviving fraction to 0.1 [D(0.1)] was obtained by authors for each cell type from published figures. Ratio is the ratio of D(0.1) of parental or mutant cells to D(0.1) of cells with reduced activity.
