Studies on radiation-induced apoptosis in G0 human lymphocytes.

abstract：:This study was designed to compare radiosensitization by the oral platinum compound JM216 with cisplatin. RIF1 mouse tumour cells were treated at various doses and at various exposure times with JM216 and irradiated 15 min before the end of drug exposure. The fraction of cells surviving treatment was assessed by colon...
