Experiments have been performed to elucidate whether the dose-response relationship for radiation transformation is likely to be due to the fraction of cells altered by the radiation exposure or to the degree of initiation in individual cells. Radiation doses of 0.25, 1, 4, and 6 Gy were utilized in

โฆ Synopsis
A 48-year-old female developed significant bronchospasm on two occasions after being treated with cytarabine (Ara-C) by the intraperitoneal route. In this report we present the first in vitro evidence that such a reaction to cytarabine can be associated with the release of histamine and therefore might be immu-noglobulin E (IgE) mediated. In addition, this report emphasizes the fact that, while uncommon, severe allergic reactions to this useful chemotherapeutic agent do occur and must be considered in the differential diagnosis of anaphylaxis and related symptoms in patients receiving this drug.
