Description

On the basis of literary data analysis the estimation of lymphocyte radiosensitivity with the account of dividing this cell type into numerous varieties is given. Estimation results have shown that during in vitro irradiation at 1000 P dose rate in the first day 80 percent of blood B-cells and about 30 percent of T cells are killed. By the fourth day lymphocyte killing approaches maximum: B cells vanish practically completely, and T cells make up 6-8% of the initial content. The lymphocyte reduction greatly depends on an injury character. T and B lymphocyte reduction dynamics is in principle analogous except for some difference in reduction periods
