In earlier papers (1-8), we reported on several aspects of the response of cultured mammalian cells to X-radiation. These concerned the survival of aerobic (1-3, 6) and hypoxic (7, 8) cells to fractionated doses, the potentiating effect of the thymidine analog 5-bromodeoxyuridine (4), and the effect of X-radiation on the division characteristics of surviving and nonsurviving cells (5). Our principal interest in these past studies has been the recovery of sublethally irradiated cells. That is, since the survival curve of a population of single mammalian cells has a threshold (or is of type C; ref. 9), it follows that damage must be accumulated before a lethal effect is produced (2, 10).4 Cells that survive exponentially may not require damage accumulation, although exponential survival of a homogeneous population can also result from a unique form of damage accumulation (11). Since it is not possible to construct a curve with a shoulder from a mixture of exponentials only, even for an inhomogeneous population of single cells a thresholdtype curve means that one or more moieties require damage accumulation for lethality.
