Implications of Tissue Target-cell Survival-curve Shape for Values of Split-dose Recovery Doses: Late Versus Early Effects

Summary

Recent data from this laboratory on split-dose recovery for early and late effects in pig skin are consistent with the linear-quadratic model for cell survival, and with relative cell survival-curve shapes for early- and late-effect target cells where the early-effect cells have an initially steeper and straighter survival-curve than the late-effect cells.
