U2OS cells treated with control or RNF169 siRNAs for 3 d were exposed to IR (0.25 Gy), fixed 30 min later, and immunostained with antibodies to 53BP1 or γ-H2AX. Numbers and intensity of IR-induced nuclear foci were quantified using ScanR image analysis software. Results from a representative experiment are shown. AU, arbitrary unit.

a

The mean values of total fluorescence associated with all detectable IR-induced nuclear foci.
