Effect of SCF on DNA fragmentation of irradiated Ba/F3-Kit cells.
Cells were labeled with 0.5 μCi/mL [3H]thymidine (1.8 × 104 Bq/mL) for 48 hours. Cells were then washed, treated (○) or not (●) with SCF (200 ng/mL for 30 minutes), and irradiated at 4 Gy. At indicated times, cells were embedded in agarose plugs and digested and the DNA was separated by high-voltage electrophoresis. Fragmented and unfragmented DNA-associated radioactivities were quantitated. The results are expressed as percentage of fragmented over total DNA-associated radioactivity. Results are the mean ± SD of 3 independent experiments.
