Human prostate (LNCaP), breast (MDA-MB-231), lung (H1703), and chordoma (JHC7) carcinoma cells were mock-irradiated (0 Gy) or exposed to a single dose of 8 Gy photon or proton radiation. After 96 h, cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Viability was determined for the entire cell populations by live/dead staining as described in materials and methods. For surface expression of HLA-ABC (MHC-I), CEA, MUC-1, and ICAM-1, analysis was conduced on gated viable cells. Numbers indicate percentage of positive cells. Numbers in parentheses denote mean fluorescence intensity (MFI). Bold type indicates marked upregulation (≥ 10% increase in percent of cells or 50% increase in MFI not observed in isotype control vs. untreated cells). Data shown is representative of experiment repeated 3 times with similar results.
