Figure 1. Radiosensitivity of adult LECs and adult BECs is similar.

Figure 1

Adult and neonatal lymphatic endothelial cells (aLEC and nLEC) were compared to adult blood endothelial cells (aBEC) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) using clonogenic survival assays. Curves for aLECs and aBECs show no difference in dose-responsive survival fraction between the two. nLECs and are more radiosensitive than their adult counterparts as measured by their reduced survival fractions. * p<0.05 comparing nLECs vs. aLECs and aBECs vs. HUVECs. Statistical comparisons were made using a general linear model as described in the methods.
