Fig. 16: Standardization of γ-radiation dose to measure percent cell death using Annexin-V-<br />

FLUOS-PI staining by flow cytometry. Standardization of radiation exposure using E264 (MPN) and<br />

E249 (Control) cell lines. A range of radiation doses was selected to assess cell death response (a).<br />

Standardization of radiation exposure using E265 (MPN) and E250 (Control) cell lines. Vertical line on<br />

each bar shows standard deviation (b). Comparison of percent cell death after 5 Gy and 10 Gy radiation<br />

exposure at 24 h time point between MPN (n=3) and control (n=2) cell lines (c). Comparison of percent<br />

cell death after 48 h time point between MPN (n=2) and control (n=3) cell lines. The difference in the<br />

percent cell death after 48 h was significant between MPN and control group with *p value=0.04 at 5 Gy<br />

and **p value=0.01 at 10 Gy (d).<br />

Similarly a range of BPDE concentrations, time of treatment duration and<br />

various time points post BPDE exposure were evaluated to standardise the optimum<br />

BPDE concentration and time of exposure. Few representative graphs showing BPDE<br />

concentration standardisation are shown in Fig. 17. A concentration of 5 μM and 8 μM,<br />

and a 6 h time of treatment duration were found to be best suited for comparing percent<br />

cell death after BPDE exposure between MPN and control cell lines.<br />
