Sci‐AM Fri ‐ 04: Radiation induced apoptosis and chromosomal aberrations in human lymphocytes: Estimating the risks associated with radiation exposures

Abstract

Research conducted at McMaster University has shown a relative biological effect (RBE) of unity, between 280keV neutrons and gamma radiation, for the induction of apoptosis in human lymphocytes. Similar results have also been seen by Vral et al. (1998) and Warenius and Down (1995) for the induction of apoptosis in human lymphocytes and mouse thymocytes respectively. It has previously been reported that neutrons of energies 36keV to 14.6Mev …
