Abstract:: |
The effect of low dose X-rays on Ca2+-activated K+ channels[K(ca)] in mouse thymic lymphocytes was observed using the cell-attached configuration of patch clamp technique.It is shown that low dose X-rays can elevate the open times and openstate probabilities of K(ca) channels, without apparent influence on the current flowing through the channels.After 3 min exposure of lymphocytes to Con A the open-state probabilitis of K(ca) channels in irradiated group were higher than those in control group.It was observed that from 4 to 24h after irradiation the activity of K(ca) chanels increased with time. K(ca)channels are important in the molecular mechanism of immutnoenhancement following low dose irradiation. |
