Changes in the repair capacity of blood cells as a biomarker for chronic low-dose exposure to ionizing radiation
1 Jan 1997
Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study was to examine whether changes in the repair capacity of blood cells could be used as a valuable biomarker for radiation exposure. To characterize the repair kinetics in nonirradiated and irradiated cells we first performed in vitro split dose experiments. DNA damage and DNA repair capacity were analysed using the comet assay. Our results showed that the first in vitro irradiation...
