Relationship between radioadaptive response and individual radiosensitivity to low doses of gamma radiation: an extended study of chromosome damage in blood lymphocytes of three donors

摘要

Purpose: Our study aimed at evaluating: 1) whether well-established variability in radioadaptive response (AR) in various donor blood lymphocytes might be attributed to inter-individual differences in radiosensitivity to different low dose levels; 2) whether AR is reproducibly present over time in the lymphocytes of AR-positive individuals.
