Cytogenetic Effects in Rabbit Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes after in Vitro Low-dose Gamma Irradiation
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The cytogenetic effect of low-dose gamma irradiation on the heredity structures of rabbits was studied. Rabbit peripheral blood lymphocytes were irradiated in vitro within the dose range 0.25-1.0 Gy on Rokus equipment with Со radiation source at a dose rate of 2.22 cGy/s. The analysis of cytogenetic data showed that the frequency of induced chromosomal aberrations in rabbit peripheral blood lymphocytes, irradiated in vitro, augmented correspondingly to exposure dose. The dose-effect relationship was described by a linear-quadratic function of the Y=bD+cD type. The comparison of results in the different blood donors showed a lack of significant difference in the frequency of induced aberrations in peripheral blood lymphocytes, irradiated and cultivated under the same

Effects of Gamma Irradiation on Proliferation and IL-5 Production of Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes
Gamma irradiation is routinely used for suppression of lymphocyte function in transfusion and transplantation procedures. In recent years, some investigators focused on the effects of ionizing radiation on special aspects of lymphocyte function and considered the possibility of its clinical application for treatment of some immunological disorders. In this study, we evaluated the effects of fiv...
متن کاملModification of 10 cGy neutron or gamma-rays induced chromosomal damages by hyperthermia: an in vitro study
Background: To evaluate the effects of hyperthermia (HT) on the frequency of chromosomal aberrations induced by a low dose of neutron or γ-rays in human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Materials and Methods: Blood samples were exposed to HT (41.5°C for 30 and 60min, 43°C for 15 and 30min), 10 cGy neutron or γ-rays, HT + neutron/γ, and neutron/γ + HT. After standard cell culture, harvestin...
متن کاملAssessment of the radioprotective effects of amifostine on human lymphocytes irradiated in vitro by gamma-rays using cytokinesis-blocked micronucleus assay
Background: A radioprotective effect of amifostine as well as its ability to modulate the level of spontaneous and gamma-irradiation-induced genetic changes on human peripheral blood lymphocytes has been investigated . Amifostine, known as a potent radical scavenger, has been introduced as the most effective radioprotector, yet it is not completely approved for the clinical use. However, furt...
متن کاملEffects of Hesperidin as a Radio-protector on Apoptosis in Rat Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes after Gamma Radiation
Introduction: Hesperidin (HES), as the most abundant flavonoid existing in the citrus, is widely used by human daily. The radio-protective effects of Hesperidin have been confirmed in various measurement systems. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Hesperidin on the changes in the apoptosis level and expression of apoptotic genes target (bax, bcl-2 and ration of bax/bcl-2) in the periph...
متن کاملA mouse model of cytogenetic analysis to evaluate radiation dose exposure and contamination
In one group, our mouse cytogenetic method was evaluated in vitro either after contamination to 137caesium or irradiation and compared to human data obtained in the same conditions. M-FISH analysis was used to study the yields and complexity of radiation-induced chromosome damage and to compare the low-dose rate responses observed in mouse to the high-dose rate responses observed both in mouse ...
