Table I.
Cell line | ED50 ± SEM | DMF (ED50) | ED90 ± SEM | DMF (ED90) |
---|---|---|---|---|
FaDu | 1.60±0.11 | 1 | 4.16±0.13 | 1 |
FaDu-RR | 2.57±0.09a | 1.60 | 5.35±0.13a | 1.29 |
Comparison between parental (FaDu) and radioresistant (FaDu-RR) cell lines in sensitivity to irradiation. The ED50 and ED90 values are represented as the arithmetic mean (AM) ± standard error of the mean (SEM) from at least 3 independent experiments, performed in triplicates. DMF, dose-modifying factor; ED50, effective dose killing 50% of the cells; ED90, effective dose killing 90% of the cells.
P<0.05, significantly different from the parental FaDu cells.
