Radiofungicidal effects of external gamma radiation and antibody-targeted beta and alpha radiation on Cryptococcus neoformans.
We evaluated the clonogenic survival, membrane permeability, metabolic activity (XTT reduction), and apoptosis (FLICA binding) of Cryptococcus neoformans cells subjected to gamma rays from an external source, and beta and alpha particles delivered to fungal cells by capsule-specific antibody. We found that gamma, beta, and alpha radiation affected cells through different pathways.
متن کاملAlpha Beta and Gamma Radiation Lab
Unstable atomic nuclei may decay into less energetic nuclei by emission of alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. These forms of radiation are now known to consist of He4 nuclei, electron (or positron), and high energy photons respectively. Which types of decay a nuclei may undergo depends on how it is unstable. Many materials may emit more than one form of radiation. This is especially true when th...
متن کاملEffects of radiation type and delivery mode on a radioresistant eukaryote Cryptococcus neoformans.
INTRODUCTION Most research on radioresistant fungi, particularly on human pathogens such as Cryptococcus neoformans, involves sparsely-ionizing radiation. Consequently, fungal responses to densely-ionizing radiation, which can be harnessed to treat life-threatening fungal infections, remain incompletely understood. METHODS We addressed this issue by quantifying and comparing the effects of de...
متن کاملAbsorption of Beta and Gamma Radiation
About this lab The natural environment involves nuclear radiation. Mankind has added to this by production of power and by application of “artificial” radiation to medical and other uses. After a hiatus of decades in the United States (but not in the rest of the world) nuclear fission power plant construction may experience a revival, under the economic pressure of fossil fuel price increases a...
متن کاملthe effects of planning on accuracy and complexity of iranian efl students’ written narrative task performance
this study compared the different effects of form-focused guided planning vs. meaning-focused guided planning on iranian pre-intermediate students’ task performance. the study lasted for three weeks and concentrated on eight english structures. forty five pre-intermediate iranian students were randomly assigned to three groups of guided planning focus-on-form group (gpfg), guided planning focus...
