Figure 1. Dose-dependent decrease in lung epithelial colony formation following whole body X-ray irradiation.

Figure 1

(A) Isolated and fractionated primary epithelial cells from X-ray irradiated U-RFP and unirradiated U-GFP mice were co-cultured with unirradiated mouse lung fibroblasts for 14 days. (B) Colonies were imaged and quantitated and the colony forming efficiency calculated as the percentage (± SEM) of seeded cells that give rise to colonies after 14 days in culture. Graph was plotted as the percent of colony forming efficiency normalized to the control. Significance to unirradiated controls indicated by: * (p ≤ 0.05), *** (p ≤ 0.001), **** (p ≤ 0.0001).
