  1. Table of cell viabilities (expressed as % of non-irradiated treatment control for a given concentration of nanoconjugates, after adjustment for baseline cytotoxicity) for SK-N-AS and SK-N-DZ cells treated with varying concentrations of DOPAC-nanocomposites combined with varying doses of ionizing radiation, from Fig. 5. Entries contain mean ± SD. *: < 0.05 significance level, **: < 0.01 significance level, *** < 0.001 significance level
