Figure 2. Fig 1. Sphere-forming efficiency decreases following radiation. A single 5 Gy dose of radiation (IR d30) was given to 4–6 week old female FVB mice and parotid glands were collected 30 days following radiation for sphere formation assay. Representative bright field images of salispheres grown from untreated control (UT) and irradiated (IR d30) glands in serum-free media at different time points in culture (A). Number of salispheres was quantified per 6 wells from 3 primary cell preparations per treatment group at days 4, 5, 6, 7, and 14 in culture and expressed as average ± SEM (B). Representative graphs showing the distribution of salisphere sizes among all the salispheres counted from one UT and IR d30 primary sphere preparation (C). P values were obtained with 2-sided unpaired t-test (n 3), p < .01, p < .001, p < .0001. Scale bar 50μm.

Descrizione
