Abstract

The results reported earlier in this series indicated that the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of ultrasoft X rays decreases with decreasing cell thickness, approaching unity for the thinnest cells used, plateau-phase human skin fibroblasts (HSF). The possible dependence of RBE on the configuration of the cell nucleus is investigated further in this paper using two CHO cell lines that attach well and have similar intrinsic radiosensitivities to ⁶⁰Co γ rays. One of the lines forms monolayers similar to V79 cells, while the other remains more spherical during growth. We find an increasing RBE with decreasing X-ray energy for both of these cell lines, consistent with our results using V79 cells. Also consistent with our results obtained with 10T 1/2 and HSF cells, we find an increasing RBE with increasing cell thickness. The possible dependence of RBE on radiosensitivity and the use of the concept of mean dose for ultrasoft X rays is discussed.
