Table 4. Radiosensitivity enhancement factor (REF) and dose reduction.
Cell type | Radiation | REF | Dose reduction (%) |
---|---|---|---|
Huh7 | γ-ray | 1.41 | 29.2 |
Neutron | 1.80 | 44.3 | |
HepG2 | γ-ray | 1.16 | 13.8 |
Neutron | 1.35 | 25.9 |
Values were obtained from Figure 2A.
REF: ratio of the radiation dose required to kill 90% of cells in the presence of gold nanoparticles divided by the dose in the absence of gold nanoparticles.
