Abstract:: |
Objective To compare the effectiveness of 2.14MeV neutrons versus 180kV X-rays and 60Co γ rays in producing micronuclei in human lymphocytes.Methods Heparinized whole blood samples were exposed to fast neutrons, X-rays and 60Co γ rays, respectively.Micronuclei in binuclear lymphocytes(CB method)were scored.Relative biological effectiveness (RBE) values were derived.Results RBE values of 2.14MeV neutrons ranging from 1 to 3 Gy decreased with increasing dose.They averaged 3.88(Dx/Dn) and 4.50(Dγ/Dn), respectively.Conclusion 2.14MeV neutrons have higher biological effectiveness in inducing micronuclei. |
