Comparisons of radiation-induced transformation between MEFs bearing different genotypes versus wild-type MEF controls. Relative transformation is defined as the ratio of the number of transformed clones per surviving heterozygous cells relative to the number of transformed clones per surviving wild-type cells. The statistical significance of differences in transformation frequency between the various cells with heterozygous genotypes and wild-type cells was analyzed by the Student's t-test.
