Immune system modulation by low-dose ionizing radiation-induced adaptive response

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Hormesis or low-dose ionizing radiation is known to induce various biological responses, a subcategory of which is the adaptive response, which has been reported to protect against higher radiation doses via multiple mechanisms. This study investigated the role of the cell-mediated immunological component of low-dose ionizing radiation-induced adaptive response. METHODS: source with low-dose ionizing...
