CT26 tumor cells were plated in triplicates in 60-mm dishes (Nunc Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA) at concentrations estimated to yield approximately 100 colonies/dish. Then, the cells were treated with irradiation of 1 × 5 Gy or 2 × 5 Gy. After incubation for approximately 2 weeks, the cells were fixed and adherent cells were stained with methylene blue (Sigma-Aldrich, Munich, Germany) for 30 min. Colonies with >50 cells were scored.
