Abstract
Dose-dependences of the chromosomal aberrations induction in B14-150 cells were studied for carbon ions (E ∼455 MeV/nucleon) with different values of the linear energy transfer (LET): 10-12 keV/μm (proximal region of the Bragg curve - plateau) and 25-27 keV/μm (tail of the Bragg curve). It is shown that the level of chromosome aberrations was higher for irradiation at tail of carbon beam. The dose relations were described by a modified linear-quadratic model and had a similar character in the studied dose range of 0.05-2.5 Gy. A sharp increase of the chromosome aberrations yield at the dose range up to 0.1 Gy (hyper-radiosensitivity, HRS), slowdown in it at the range of 0.1-0.3 Gy (induced radioresistance, IRR) and a further its’ growth above 0.3 Gy were observed with a transformation to linear and linear-quadratic dependences. The results obtained agree with the known literature data and indicates the likeness of the biological effect of hyper-radiosensitivity and induced radioresistance (HRS/IRR) for different cell lines.
