Abstract

Our study aimed at evaluating: 1) whether well-established variability in radioadaptive response (AR) in various donor blood lymphocytes might be attributed to inter-individual differences in radiosensitivity to different low dose levels; 2) whether AR is reproducibly present over time in the lymphocytes of AR-positive individuals. Experimental procedure: Whole blood samples of three donors were exposed to low doses (2-30 cGy) of γ-radiation alone (G0 phase) or followed by a 1 Gy challenge dose (late S/early G2 phase), and chromosome aberration were scored to assess the dose-response relationship and adaptive response, correspondingly. Three experiments were performed on blood samples of the same donors at six month intervals. Significant differences in dose response relationship for blood lymphocytes were found among individuals. In most cases, the donors exhibited initial low-dose hypersensitivity (HRS) followed by an increase in radioresistance (IRR). AR could be successfully induced by some particular priming doses in the lymphocytes of each donor; however, the doses resulting in a protective response were quite different for all three donors. These protective doses could equally belong to either HRS or IRR region on the in...Continue Reading

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
