Radiosensitivity of CD4 or CD8 Positive Human T-Lymphocytes by an in Vitro Colony Formation Assay
1 Aug 1990
Abstract excerpt
The recent development of an in vitro lymphocyte colony assay makes it possible to examine variations in the radiosensitivity of humans using peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) instead of the skin fibroblast assay. Our recent study (M. Hakoda et al., Mutat. Res. 197, 161-169, 1988) showed that most of the colonies consisted of lymphocytes bearing CD4 or CD8 antigens.
