BIOMARKERS FOR ASSESSING EXPOSURE TO IONIZING RADIATION AND ABSORBED DOSE

摘要

The present invention concerns radiation-responsive biomarkers capable of determining qualitative exposure status (yes/no. i.e., irradiated/non-irradiated) and distinguishing levels of exposure (quantitative absorbed dose determination), and materials and methods to profile the radiation-responsive biomarkers in blood samples to detect radiation exposure and/or to determine the dose of radiation exposure.
