Table 4. Dose-Modifying Factors for Quiescent Cells Relative to the Total Tumor Cell Populationa.
Without thalidomide | With thalidomide (once) | With thalidomide (twice) | |
---|---|---|---|
Net micronucleus frequency = 0.6 | |||
γ-Rays only | 1.65 ± 0.15b | 1.6 ± 0.1 | 1.9 ± 0.15 |
With nicotinamide | 1.8 ± 0.15 | 2.0 ± 0.15 | 1.8 ± 0.15 |

aThe ratio of the dose of radiation necessary to obtain each end-point in the quiescent cell population to that needed to obtain each end-point in the total tumor cell population. bMean ± standard error (n = 6).
