Abstract
Survival of reproductive capacity of murine leukaemia P-388 cells was assayed in vivo after the cells had been irradiated in vitro under aerobic or hypoxic conditions with collimated beams of X rays or 16 MeV D-Be fast neutrons at various depths in tissue-equivalent phantom material. The response to X-irradiation was the same in the absence of the phantom and at 8-7 cm depth. The response to fast neutrons under aerobic conditions was unchanged from 0 to 23 cm depth within the phantom. However, under hypoxic conditions, the dose-response curve for fast neutrons became significantly steeper with increasing depth in the phantom. The OER decreased from 2-0 in the absence of the phantom to 1-5 at 15 cm deep.
