Abstract:: |
Objective The purpose of the present study was to look at the possible influence of whole body irradiation (WBI) with X-rays on the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration [Ca2+]i in thymocytes and to elucidate the possible molecular mechanism of immunoenhancement following low dose radiation (LDR).Method [Ca2+]i was assayed by fluoresence spectrophotometry after loading the thymocytes with a fluorescence probe (Fura-2AM).Result It was found that [Ca2+]i increased after WBI with 75mGy X-rays, reaching its peak at 24h and returning to control level within 72h.Conclusion The results indicate that LDR can promote signal transduction of T lymphocytes. |
