ABSTRACT:
A method of assessing a cell's susceptibility to cell-damaging energy, such as ionizing radiation and heat, is disclosed. The method is based on measurable changes in voltage-dependent potassium channel currents in the cell in response to the energy. Also disclosed is a method for screening drugs which are effective to sensitize a cell to cell-damaging radiation.
