Simultaneous treatment of Chinese hamster fibroblasts with Actinomycin D and gamma rays under normal aerobic conditions leads to radiosensitization. In contrast to Actinomycin D pretreatment, modification to the effect of radiation is drug dose dependent in the case of post-treatment. No effect of Actinomycin D upon the shape of the radiation cell survival curve is seen under hypoxic conditions. Recovery from radiation damage in split dose experiments is not influenced by the drug.
