Inactivation of human normal and tumour cells irradiated with low energy protons.

TL;DR: RBE for inactivation with high-LET protons increased with the cellular radioresistance to gamma-rays, and a similar trend has been found in studies reported in the literature with He, C, N ions with LET in the range 20-125 keV/microm on human tumour cell lines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inactivation of C3H10T1/2 cells by low energy protons and deuterons.

TL;DR: No difference in effectiveness for inactivation of C3H10T1/2 has been found between protons and deuterons at two LET values in the range 10-20 keV/microm and proton RBE values are significantly larger than unity at LET values as low as 11 keV /microm.
Journal ArticleDOI

Minisatellite and Hprt mutations in V79 cells irradiated with helium ions and gamma rays.

TL;DR: The results reported here confirmed the higher cytotoxic and mutagenic effects of helium ions in comparison with γ-irradiation and the ability of DNA fingerprint analysis to investigate DNA damage induced by different ionizing radiations.
