Effect of negative pions on the proliferative capacity of ascites tumor cells (lymphoma) grown in vivo
Description:
We have attempted to determine the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of negative pions in the Bragg-peak region as compared to the plateau region and to gamma rays. We irradiated LAF{sub 1} mice, bearing 5-day-old lymphoma ascites tumors, in the peak and plateau regions of a 90-MeV pion beam for 40 hours in temperature-controlled holders. The animals were then sacrificed; lymphoma cells were withdrawn and titrated into adult female LAF{sub 1} mice. The proliferative capacity of the irradi…
