## Abstract Fibroblasts were isolated from keloid, normal skin, and normal scar and maintained in tissue culture for four passages. Growth kinetics were the same for all groups on days 2 through 12. However, the rate of collagen synthesis per fibroblast was greater in keloid derived cells than any

โฆ Synopsis
Colony-forming ability was employed in evaluating the susceptibility to in vitro gamma ionizing radiation in human diploid skin fibroblasts (HDF). Twelve pairs of HDF, each composed of fibroblasts from excised keloid lesion and local normal skin tissue as its control, were studied in patients with clinically persistent keloids. Parameters of radiosensitivity, both D 0 and D 10 , and growth kinetics were examined. The radiosensitivity in three of the 12 keloids (25%) were demonstrated significantly increased than their counterpart controls, even though no difference in growth kinetics in between. Moreover, a broad range in the radiosensitivity of fibroblast cells was demonstrated and it is suggested that there is a great heterogeneity of cellular response to radiation in HDF.

The cellular response to multiple carcinogen treatment has not been extensively studied, even though the effect of individual carcinogens is, in many cases, well known. We have previously shown that potassium dichromate can protect normal human fibroblasts from the mutagenic effects of benzo[a]pyren
