PFGE pattern. (A) PFGE for a typical A431 cell line experiment with agarose-encapsulated cells. The range of DNA quantification, beginning just before the compression zone (CZ) and ending at the bottom of the smears, is shown. (B) The amount of released DNA (optical density, Arbitrary Units, AU) was plotted as a function of time using the following time-points 0, 0.5, 1, 2 or 4 h. U stands for unirradiated (black bars) and I for 45 Gy irradiated cell-plugs (white bars). Data were obtained from one experiment.
