Abstract

Effects of soft X-ray irradiation on the natural killer (NK) cell activity and the percentage of asialo GM1-positive cells of spleen cells in mice were investigated by using a soft X-ray generator intended for non-destructive radiological examination. Soft X-ray irradiation in graded doses of more than 25.8 mC/kg indicated dose dependent reductions in the NK cell activity in the spleen of irradiated mice. Significant reductions in the population of asialo GM1-positive cells in spleen cells were also observed. These results suggest that a soft X-ray generator could also be useful in immuno-irradiation studies.
