Widespread Decreased Expression of Immune Function Genes in Human Peripheral Blood Following Radiation Exposure
29 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
We report a large-scale reduced expression of genes in pathways related to cell-type specific immunity functions that emerges from microarray analysis 48 h after ex vivo γ-ray irradiation (0, 0.5, 2, 5, 8 Gy) of human peripheral blood from five donors. This response is similar to that seen in patients at 24 h after the start of total-body irradiation and strengthens the rationale for the ex vivo model as an...
