Abstract
In this study, we compared the kinetics of the postirradiation p53 protein expression for carbon ion beam (290 MeV/n, LET 75 keV/mu m) and proton beam (65 MeV) with that of (13)7Cs-gamma ray. We used two human lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from the same donor with different p53 status. Wild-type p53 protein increased after irradiation and it was dose-dependent. Meanwhile, the mutated p53 protein level did not show any increase with irradiation. With the three forms of radiation, there was no significant difference as regards the p53 protein kinetics.
