From: Correlation of dynamic changes in γ-H2AX expression in peripheral blood lymphocytes from head and neck cancer patients with radiation-induced oral mucositis

Figure 1

Relationship of the applied dose of irradiation and the relative fluorescence of γ-H2AX. Peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) from patients with severe (grey bard) and mild (white bars) oral mucositis (OM) were irradiated at 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 Gy. At 1 hour after in vitro irradiation, the γ-H2AX-associated fluorescence intensity in the lymphocytes was assessed using a FACS-based assay. The γ-H2AX-associated fluorescence is expressed relative to that of untreated control PBLs. The values shown are the mean ± SD; *p < 0.05.
