Abstract
In the present study, cartilage in the tails of baby rats was used to examine the response of a normal tissue in situ to combined heat and X irradiation under both normal and hypoxic conditions. Hyperthermia may selectively kill hypoxic cells. These experiments demonstrate that heating to levels which are insufficient to cause any observable cell killing does not result in a differential sensitization of hypoxic cells to subsequent X irradiation.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
