In a previous publication (Czapski et al. 1992) we reported that HOCl accounts for the toxicity of irradiated phosphate-buffered saline towards Escherichia coli bacterial cells. We have now investigated the respective toxicities towards λ phage and mammalian cells. For phage, as with bacteria, cytotoxicity of the irradiated media seems to derive from HOCl without detectable contribution of H2O2. Mammalian cells (V79 CHO), in contrast, are more sensitive to H2O2 than to HOCl. Both agents, however, are not able to account quantitatively for the toxicity of irradiated solutions towards V79 cells; a hitherto unidentified chlorine/oxygen derivative-being formed in the sub-micromolar concentration range-is suggested to be responsible for toxicity in the case of eukaryotes.
