Mechanism of cell inactivation by different ions: Damage induction probabilities per single tracks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Biological effects of proton and light ion irradiations have been studied in detail by analyzing published cell survival data with the help of the probabilistic two-stage radiobiological model. Probabilities of single ion tracks to induce lesions of different severity have been assessed in dependence on their linear energy transfer (LET). The results are presented and their interpretation in terms of Zeff/β (the effective charge over velocity squared) is discussed.

Irradiation of cell monolayers by monoenergetic ions has made it possible to establish survival curves at individual values of linear energy transfer. The two-step model of radiobiological mechanism proposed recently by Judas and Lokajicek (Judas L., Lokajicek M., 2001: Cell inactivation by ionizing particles and the shapes of survival curves. J. Theor. Biol. 210 (1), 15-21., doi:10.1006/jtbi.2...
متن کاملProbabilistic two-stage model of cell inactivation by ionizing particles.
A model of biological effects of ionizing particles, especially of protons and other ions, is proposed. The model is based on distinguishing the single-particle and collective effects of the underlying radiobiological mechanism. The probabilities of individual particles causing severe damage to DNA, their synergetic or saturation combinations, and the effect of the cellular repair system are ta...

متن کاملModelling the mechanism of cell inactivation by light ions at different energy values
For efficient application of protons and light ions in radiotherapy, detailed knowledge and realistic models of the corresponding radiobiological mechanism are necessary. Basic characteristics of this mechanism have been represented within a probabilistic two-stage model. The processes that occur immediately after the traversals of individual particles and the response of cell to the total dama...
