Identification of gene-based responses in human blood cells exposed to alpha particle radiation
12 Jul 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The threat of a terrorist-precipitated nuclear event places humans at danger for radiological exposures. Isotopes which emit alpha (α)-particle radiation pose the highest risk. Currently, gene expression signatures are being developed for radiation biodosimetry and triage with respect to ionizing photon radiation. This study was designed to determine if similar gene expression profiles are obtained...
