Abstract:
The development of in vitro isogenic models of radioresistance through exposure to fractionated radiation is an increasingly used approach to investigate the mechanisms of radioresistance in cancer cells. Owing to the complex nature of the biological effect of ionizing radiation, the generation and validation of these models requires the careful consideration of radiation exposure protocols and cellular endpoints. This chapter presents a protocol we used to derive and characterize an isogenic model of radioresistant prostate cancer cells. This protocol may be applicable to other cancer cell lines.
