Abstract Purpose Current methods for quantifying effects of DNA repair modifiers on radiation sensitivity assume a constant effect independent of the radiation dose received. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a modelling strategy by which radiation dose dependent effects of DNA repair inhibitors on clonogenic survival might be identified and their significance assessed. Methods An indicator model that allowed quantification of the Sensitiser Effect on Radiation response as a function of Dose SERD was developed. This model was fitted to clonogenic survival data derived from human tumour and rodent fibroblast
