The in vitro response of L1A2 cells to a single exposure to one temperature and to step-down heating was investigated. Single heating consisted of heating for a specified time at a constant temperature in the range 38.0-45.0 degrees C, whereas step-down heating involved a pretreatment of either 45.0 degrees C for 10 min or 42.0 degrees C for 90 min. The pretreatments were adjusted to give the same survival level. The survival curves for single heating had an initial shoulder followed by an exponential region, whereas for step-down heating they were strictly exponential and had no shoulder. The time-temperature relationship for cells exposed to single heating showed a biphasic Arrhenius curve with a downward inflection at 40.5 degrees C. Biphasic Arrhenius curves were also observed for step-down heating, but both the 45 degrees C/10 min and the 42 degrees C/90 min pretreatment showed an upward inflection that broke at 42.5 degrees C and 40.5 degrees C, respectively. The downward inflection on the Arrhenius curve for single heating has been attributed to thermotolerance development and the effect of step-down heating to a temporary inhibition of thermotolerance development. However, the present shape of the Arrhenius curves for step-down heating cannot be explained by inhibition of thermotolerance. It is therefore reasonable to assume that step-down heating is more than just the inhibition of thermotolerance, and that step-down heating and thermotolerance are distinct phenomena which act independently.
